Adam Smith (1723-1790) was a Scottish economist and philosopher, considered the father of modern economics. His work falls within the essay and economic philosophy, highlighting his analysis of the free market and the division of labor. He studied at the University of Glasgow and Oxford, developing ideas that would influence economic liberalism.

Among his main works is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), known as The Wealth of Nations, a fundamental treatise in classical economics. He also wrote The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), where he explores ethics and human sympathy. His legacy remains fundamental in current economic and political thought.
