Smith is a really decent and interesting philosopher. I think sometimes people on the left can become a bit black and white about some of these thinkers but in fact Marx, while ultimately having an important critique, nonetheless had a lot of positive things to say about him and Ricardo etc.

2022-05-09 06:17:59 +0000 UTCI came for the Feuerbach Theses review, staying for the good Marxist analysis of philosophy. Excellent episode! One book I've always meant to read is Adam Smith's Theory Of Moral Sentiments. Probably long and dense, but I'm intrigued that this side of Smith is popularly ignored.
