P.J. O'Rourke on Adam Smith

Thanks to Brad Taylor for pointing out to me this audio of an interview with P.J. O'Rourke talking about Adam Smith. This comes from the ABC's (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) "Philosopher's Zone".
Adam Smith is known today as the father of economics, but he was, by profession, a philosopher. His book The Wealth of Nations is an attempt to apply philosophy to the world of money-making and commerce. This week, we dip into his great work with the help of P.J. O'Rourke, the American political commentator, wit and author of a recent study of Smith.
