Adam Smith on the Uses, Abuses, and Limits of Self-Interest

As part of the Emory Williams Lecture Series, Jerry Muller, chair of the Department of History at Catholic University, gives a talk entitled "Adam Smith on the Uses, Abuses, and Limits of Self-Interest" (October 29, 2013). Dr. Muller holds a PhD (1984) from Columbia University and has written extensively on modern European intellectual history and modern Germany. His most recent work is "Capitalism and the Jews" (Princeton University Press, 2010).
