"[A] must-read for all Smith scholars and all scholars interested in the diffusions of ideas...This volume is thus a marvellous work that offers different perspectives on Smith and highlights different sides of how his work has been perceived and used."
- Maria Pia Paganelli, European Journal of the History of Economic Thought
"A powerful insight into Spanish economic thought in a turbulent age that lay the foundations of modern European culture. A path-breaking approach that creates new standards for next-generation historiography of economics."
