Who is Adam Smith
An influential character during the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Smith was a Scottish economist and philosopher who was a pioneer in the concept of political economy. He was also an important player throughout the time period. His two seminal publications, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), garnered him the title of “The Father of Economics” or “The Father of Capitalism” by a number of individuals. The latter, which is frequently shortened to “The Wealth of Nations,” is widely regarded as his major achievement. It is also the first modern work that approaches economics as both an all-encompassing system and an academic field. Instead than attempting to explain the distribution of wealth and power in terms of God's will, Smith makes an appeal to natural, political, social, economic, legal, environmental, and technological variables, as well as the interactions that occur between these aspects. A number of different economic ideas were presented in this text, one of which being Smith's concept of absolute advantage.
