The Life and Works of Adam Smith
Adam Smith was one of the most creative thinkers of all time and he had a rich background to support his brilliant mind. ... Adam Smith’s writings and “invisible hand” concept are part of the foundation of which economists are able to understand the workings of our current economics system. ... Adam Smith’s father died before his birth and was considered a “comptroller of customs“ (Landry). After graduating from Glasgow at the age of seventeen, Adam was sent to Oxford on a scholarship While at Oxford, Adam gained a strong learning of Greek and later became interested in David Hume’s work. These interests proved to be only the beginning of Smith’s journey into a lifetime surrounded by new ideas and knowledge.
In order to even further enrich his educational background, at the age of twenty-eight Smith became a professor of logic at Glasgow. ... Surprisingly, most economists left this work unread; those who did read it found it superficially inconsistent with The Wealth of Nations (Smith’s second book published in 1776) and were confused with Smith’s failure to relate the books to each other.
