About the author

Adam Smith (16 June 1723 NS (5 June 1723 OS) – 17 July 1790) was a Scottish moral philosopher, pioneer of political economy, and a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment.
Smith is best known for two classic works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. Smith is cited as the father of modern economics and is still among the most influential thinkers in the field of economics today.
Smith studied social philosophy at the University of Glasgow and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he was one of the first students to benefit from scholarships set up by fellow Scot, John Snell. After graduating, he delivered a successful series of public lectures at Edinburgh, leading him to collaborate with David Hume during the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith obtained a professorship at Glasgow teaching moral philosophy, and during this time he wrote and published The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In his later life, he took a tutoring position that allowed him to travel throughout Europe, where he met other intellectual leaders of his day.
Smith laid the foundations of classical free market economic theory. The Wealth of Nations was a precursor to the modern academic discipline of economics. In this and other works, he expounded upon how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity. Smith was controversial in his own day and his general approach and writing style were often satirised by Tory writers in the moralising tradition of William Hogarth and Jonathan Swift. In 2005, The Wealth of Nations was named among the 100 Best Scottish Books of all time. The minor planet 12838 Adamsmith was named in his memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imprescindible para iniciarse en cuestiones de economía y el funcionamiento de las empresas
Verified PurchasePor un precio irrisorio sin suscripciones, o incluso disfrutando de él, al menos de momento, en Kindle Unlimited, se puede aprender bastante sobre como funcionaban, y todavía funcionan a día de hoy en muchos casos, casi todas las empresas y sus trabajadores en cuestiones de economía de mercado, tanto local como global: su facturación, organización, administración, diversificación y/o división del capital tanto humano como económico y material, en sus valores reales y nominales... para casi todos sus pormenores... con sinceridad, a veces Adam Smith da tantos detalles sobre como se movía toda la economía y la empresa en el siglo XVIII que se hace un poco pesado... pero aun así, es un libro muy recomendable... yo diría que imprescindible para entender como funciona el mundo liberal con sus aproximaciones al libre mercado y el capitalismo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totalmente actual
Verified PurchaseA pesar de ser escrito antes de 1780, sus conceptos siguen completamente vigentes. Algo difícil las partes en las que se refiere a la moneda o a la relación histórica con países vecinos. Al final es muy claro que desde esa época Adam Smith pensaba que el capital social es el que genera el progreso de las naciones.
