Hume's imprint on modern economics is profound and far-reaching, whether through his close friend Adam Smith or later admirers such as John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek. Schabas and Wennerlind's book compels us to reconsider the centrality and legacy of Hume's economic thought_for both his time and ours_and thus serves as an important springboard for reflections on the philosophical underpinnings of economics.
