Smith

This is the second edition of Electronic Applications of the Smith Chart, written by Phillip H. Smith, the originator of the Smith Chart.

In 1776 Adam Smith (1723-90) wrote The Wealth of Nations, a book so foundational that it has led to him being called the "father of economics." Today he is associated with the promotion of self-interest, a defense of greed and a criticism of any governmental 'interference' in market transactions which, if left to the 'invisible hand', will produce prosperity and liberty. Yet if Smith is actually read these associations are more a caricature than a faithful portrait.

Dame Maggie Smith stands as a remarkable example of the concomitance – in a performer's career – of typecasting and characterisation, that is the ability to impersonate 'against type' infinitely various screen or stage characters.

This book represents the most substantial volume of criticism of Smith's work ever published, and includes both original and previously published work by leading scholars on Smith
