This biography tells the story of Adam Smith, a Scottish economist and philosopher who was a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment. Known as "The Father of Economics" and "The Father of Capitalism," he wrote two classic works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations. The latter is considered his magnum opus, the first modern work to treat economics as a comprehensive system and academic discipline. Smith's ideas introduced the concept of division of labor and explained how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity. The book sheds light on his life, studies, successful public lectures, and the controversy he faced in his own time.
