Description

Adam Smith (5 June 1723 – 17 July 1790) was a Scottish moral philosopher and a pioneer of political economy. One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is best known for two classic works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), and The Wealth of Nations (1776).

The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

It provided the ethical, philosophical, psychological, and methodological underpinnings to Smith's later works, including The Wealth of Nations. Although Smith’s later work became popular, this was the foundation of his philosophies.

The Wealth of Nations (1776)

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith.The book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth and is today a fundamental work in classical economics.Â
