Adam Smith got it way, way wrong!
by Lindsay Curren
We do labor and we amass capital. But are we all really just miners of the wealth of the earth?

The Wealth of Nature
John Michael Greer
New Society Publishers
298 pp, $18.95.

I love the way John Michael Greer's latest book, The Wealth of Nature, opens, with a good skewering of the premise on which the modern pseudo-science of economics depends. Exposing 18th century philosopher Adam Smith's thinking in The Wealth of Nations as flawed, Greer goes on to explain what Smith missed, why it's important, and how we can turn the error in history around.
