P. J. O'Rourke took Adam Smith's "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" and "Theory of Moral Sentiments" and broke them into bite sized pieces. Coupling that with an examination of Smith and the period in which he lived his book is readable and humorous (although not laugh out loud funny). Do I now think I have a complete understanding of Adam Smith? No. But, I have a better basis to finish his works and that's what I was looking for.
BTW - Currently Reading list updated
Books, Politics, Classics, Western Canon, Economics, Scottish Enlightenment
