Ryan Patrick Hanley holds the Mellon Distinguished Professorship in Political Science at Marquette University. He is the author of Adam Smith and the Character of Virtue and the editor of the Penguin Classics edition of Adam Smith's The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2016 "Just in case you thought Adam Smith ... was simply the father of modern economics, this book is a weighty reminder of the scope and ambition of his intellectual project."--Jane Fuller, Financial World "An excellent and very useful compendium of every conceivable aspect of modern scholarship's understanding of the life and work of the author of The Wealth of Nations."--Chronicles "Hanley has assembled an excellent collection of essays on the life and work of Adam Smith. Thirty-two Smith scholars from philosophy, economics, history, political science, English, and law contribute insightful and accessible chapters exploring Smith's social vision and its relevance in various contexts over time... Overall, it would be hard to find a more balanced, comprehensive, and well-documented presentation of Smith's role in forwarding Enlightenment thinking from 18th-century Europe to China in recent decades. There is much in these essays for both seasoned Smith followers and those new to his work."--Choice "By including dozens of authors from a variety of perspectives, Hanley has put together a deep, thoughtful, and expansive volume examining Adam Smith, his works, his ideas, and his influence on the world up to today."--Paul Mueller, EH.net "This wide-ranging collection is indispensable for Smith scholars and anyone interested in his works... Scholarship on Smith has grown considerably in the last twenty years, and this collection is a welcome addition to this exciting area of research."--Review of Metaphysics
