As austerity measures continue to bite and unemployment statistics make headlines, it becomes easier to focus on the present and much harder to step back and reflect on the events that led us here. The ideologies and greed that have gotten out of hand in recent years derive from the philosophies of David Hume and Adam Smith who worked and lived throughout the 18th century. What would they make of us now? Jo Clifford attempts to answer this in a darkly funny and tragically reflective look at how two men, three hundred years ago have shaped our culture, economy and potentially our future.--Supplied by publisher.
