Adam Smith
Adam Smith was a great scientist who made extraordinary contributions in
economics.
He was born in 1723 in Kirkcaldy, a small fishing town near Edinburgh,
Scotland. His father was a customs officer. He died before his son was born.
At the age of 28 Adam Smith became a Professor of Logics at the University
of Glasgow. It was his first academic appointment. Some time later he became a
tutor to a wealthy Scottish duke. Then he received a grant of 300 a year. It was a
very big sum, 10 times the average income at that time.
With the financial security of his grant, Smith devoted 10 years to writing
his work which founded economic science. Its full title was “An Inquiry into
the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.” It was published with great suc-
cess in 1776.
Adam Smith made economics a science. This Scottish economist is often re-
garded as the founder of political economy too.
