About This Book
As a young boy in 18th-century Scotland, Adam Smith noticed how trade laws limited the exchange of goods between nations. Growing up to become a philosopher and professor, he challenged these restrictions, arguing that free trade and individual liberty could bring prosperity and harmony. His groundbreaking ideas laid the foundation for modern economics and changed how people understand wealth and society.
