When did Gordon Brown learn to admire Adam Smith?

Posted at 3:44 pm

We now have Adam Smith on the banknotes, and have heard Gordon Brown praise his fellow countryman as a great economist. I agree.

Strange then, that in his book of 1989 Gordon Brown wrote??about the "sinister insights of the historical Adam Smith".

I wonder when he changed his mind and why?

One response so far

    It’s the liar paradox. Gordon Brown says “Gordon Brown never lies”. Is he right ? Or something like that…
