Adam Smith is known as the “Father of Capitalism” and the modern world’s first economist, but that is only a partial understanding of the Scottish Enlightenment\u00a0scholar’s vision for human\u00a0flourishing. In reality, Smith defies current-day definitions both in his academic work and his economic thinking. He is best known for his second book,\u00a0The Wealth of Nations, but he would caution readers to study his first book,\u00a0The\u00a0Theory of Moral Sentiments,\u00a0before considering his ideas about organizing commercial society.<\/p>\n
