"Drawing on the work of Karl Marx, Adam Smith, and Aristotle, this work delves into what economists and philosophers have said about commodity exchange and its meaning for society. The author examines Smiths analysis of exchange in Smiths Wealth of Nations, and presents a critique of Smiths market sense inspired by Marx. He examines various types of exchange as distinguished by non-liberal scholars, and considers the current debate over globalization." --Reference & Research Book News
