    Extractions: Scotsman Adam Smith, who explained how private individuals promote the common good by pursuing their own interests In The Wealth of Nations (1776), Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) showed that the way to achieve peace and prosperity is to set people free. He opposed laws which prevent people from choosing their own work and spending their own money as they wish. The Wealth of Nations was at least 27 years in the making. Although Smith absorbed ideas from many sources, including Bernard de Mandeville's satire The Fable of the Bees: or Private Vices, Publick Benefits (expanded edition, 1729), he seems to have arrived at his most famous insight as early as 1749, before the major works of French economists were published. But surely his understanding was enriched by travel to France where he met Francois Quesnay and Jacques Turgot, pioneers of laissez faire principles. On July 5, 1764, Smith told his friend David Hume, "I have begun to write a book in order to pass away the time." He worked on his draft for the next dozen years. It finally appeared on March 9, 1776, filling two nine by 12 inch volumes, more than a thousand pages altogether. Biographer Alan Simpson Ross reported that "publication...was timed to seize Parliament's attention, and influence members to support a peaceful resolution of the [American] conflict. America offered a major point of application for free-market theory, and if Smith could win supporters, there was some hope of ending the cycle of violence induced by efforts to preserve the old colonial system involving economic restraints and prohibitions."

Smith was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, and educated at the universities of Glasgow and Oxford. From 1748 to 1751, he gave lectures on rhetoric and belles-lettres in Edinburgh. During this period, a close association developed between Smith and the Scottish philosopher David Hume that lasted until the latter's death in 1776 and contributed much to the development of Smith's ethical and economic theories. See also Thematic Essay: British Political and Social Thought Smith was appointed professor of logic in 1751 and then professor of moral philosophy in 1752 at the University of Glasgow.

    Extractions: First studying mathematics, natural philosophy and moral philosophy at Glasgow University, Smith entered Balliol College, Oxford in 1740. When he returned to Edinburgh to lecture, he met philosopher and skeptic David Hume as well as other leading intellectuals and trendsetters. In 1751, he became Chair of Logic at Glasgow and later of Moral Philosophy. On a visit to Paris in 1764-5, Smith became acquainted with the ideas of many of the leading French thinkers of the day and was able to experience first-hand the closely controlled economy of France. His Wealth of Nations consequently reflected much of the ideas he had so readily absorbed in that country. It can be said to have marked the transition from a more-or-less late medieval to a modern economy. Smith was able to grasp intuitively what it was that constituted the real wealth of a nation; he advocated the then-revolutionary idea of free trade as a means of increasing that wealth. The publication of Smith's work greatly influenced the thinking and policies of British Prime Minister William Pitt. For Smith, it was the "invisible hand" of competition that acted as the guiding light for en economic system based on individual self-interests. The idea of free trade dominated British economic policy right up until the 20th century when Smith's ideas were abandoned in favor of the old controls and restrictions that he had rightly condemned as being counterproductive to the acquisition of a country's wealth.

    Extractions: Artículos Liberales Antiliberales Reseñas Foros Genocidio ... Adam Smith Por Julio H. Cole Recomendar a un amigo Imprimir Dos siglos después de su muerte, Adam Smith es aún considerado por muchos como la figura más importante en la historia del pensamiento económico. Su célebre obra Investigación sobre la Naturaleza y causa de la Riqueza de las Naciones dio a luz el espíritu del capitalismo moderno, y presentó su justificación teórica en una forma que dominó el pensamiento de los más influyentes economistas del siglo XIX y que sigue inspirando a los defensores del mercado libre, e incluso hoy en día. Adam Smith nació en 1723 en Kirkcaldy, Escocia, hijo póstumo de Adam Smith, oficial de aduanas, y Margaret Douglas. Se desconoce la fecha exacta de su nacimiento, pero fue bautizado el 5 de Junio, 1723. Poco se sabe de su infancia, excepto que a la edad de 4 años fue raptado por una banda de gitanos, siendo rescatado gracias a la acción de su tío.«Me temo que no hubiera sido un buen gitano», comentó John Rae, su principal biógrafo. Aparte de este incidente, la vida de Smith fue singularmente tranquila, y su historia es esencialmente la de sus estudios y sus libros. En 1737, a la edad de 14 años, habiendo concluido su curso en la escuela local de Kirkcaldy, Smith ingresó en la Universidad de Glasgow, donde fue influido por «el nunca olvidado» Francis Hutcheson, el famoso profesor de filosofía moral. Luego de su graduación en 1740, Smith obtuvo una importante beca para Oxford, donde estudió por seis años en Balliol College. Sin embargo, el ambiente intelectual en Oxford en esa época era pobre y decepcionante («. . .hace mucho tiempo que la mayor parte de los profesores oficiales (en Oxford) abandonaron las obligaciones de la enseñanza», y ¿. . .será por propia culpa si en Oxford alguien llega a poner en peligro su salud por exceso de estudio. . .»). Smith dedicó estos años a un programa de lectura intensiva en filosofía y literatura, tanto modernas como clásicas.
