This classic philosophical work explores the complex relationship between individual self-interest and the common good. The author argues that private vices can lead to collective benefits and that a just society is one that embraces the pursuit of self-interest. Along with the philosophical arguments, the book also contains a critique of the charitable institutions of the time and their impact on society. A thought-provoking read that remains relevant to this day.
