Commerce and manufactures gradually introduced order and good government," wrote Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations, "and with them, the liberty and security of individuals."

It shows how order and governance provided the foundation for prosperity, growth and the wealth of nations. Written for scholars and students of economic history, this is a pioneering new study that debunks the neoliberal origin myth of how capitalism came into the
