The Wealth of Nations

The Wealth of Nations
Buy on Amazon"You're referring to the Adam Smith of The Wealth of Nations, but there's also the Adam Smith of The Theory of Moral Sentiments."
The Theory of Moral Sentiments

Animal Liberation
Buy on Amazon"And I was recently rereading the latest edition of your book, Animal Liberation, which was from 2015."
Animal Liberation
Buy on Amazon"There are now significantly more animals in factory farms than there were when Animal Liberation was first published in 1975, and despite the fact that there's been some progress in some countries and certainly much greater awareness of the issues of factory farming and of speciesism, the suffering inflicted on animals from the point of view of how much suffering humans do inflict on animals, the world is a lot worse than it was in 1975."
