Enlightenment's Frontier: The Scottish Highlands and the Origins of Environmentalism - The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History
Fredrik Albritton Jonsson
Looks at the eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment - which gave birth to modern-day environmentalism - and sheds new light on Scottish thinkers such as Carl Linneaus, David Hume and Adam Smith. In this book, the author argues that Smith's defence of free markets was actually based on idealized notions of self-regulating natural systems.
