The Founding-Fatherization of Adam Smith (with Glory M. Liu)

How did an eccentric Scottish philosopher become an icon of American free market capitalism? Greg Olear talks to Glory M. Liu of Harvard University about intellectual history, political economy, the relationship between tariffs and U.S. slavery, the Chicago school, and her new book, “Adam Smith’s America.” Plus: a new crypto currency.
