A Look at Adam Smith

Adam Smith (1723-1790) is considered to be the founder of modern economics. He was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.  He studied at the University of Glasgow and Oxford University. His major book An inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations which was published in 1776 demonstrates the benefits of freedom in the economic realm. No study of freedom could be considered complete without a study of the economic realm for this is where overwhelmingly we practice freedom.
