Adam Smith: Father of Economics
Jesse NormanRobert N. StavinsJesse Norman, a Conservative MP in the UK, is something unheard of nowadays in U.S. politics -- an intellectual politician. Much more than a biography of Adam Smith, this is a history of the Enlightenment in the 18th century, and the history of economic thought. https://t.co/oLhHPAeFAw

John Adams
David McCulloughRobert N. StavinsOn my return trip from Rome, I just finished reading David McCullough’s brilliant biography, John Adams. This classic is worthwhile and important, but suffice it to say that it gave me a very different perspective of Hamilton, and for that matter Jefferson. https://t.co/E4caMm6iYX
