Meet the author
Adam Smith is widely regarded as the father of modern economics, a towering figure of the Scottish Enlightenment whose work fundamentally shaped the world's understanding of capitalism. A moral philosopher by training, his keen observations of 18th-century society and the burgeoning Industrial Revolution led him to develop his groundbreaking theories on the division of labor, free markets, and the "invisible hand." His insights laid the intellectual foundation for classical economics and continue to influence global economic policy today.
