The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of\nNations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics.\nSmith is cited as the father of modern economics and is still among the most\ninfluential thinkers in the field of economics today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSmith studied social philosophy at the University of Glasgow\nand at Balliol College, Oxford, where he was one of the first students to\nbenefit from scholarships set up by fellow Scot, John Snell. After graduating,\nhe delivered a successful series of public lectures at Edinburgh, leading him\nto collaborate with David Hume during the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith\nobtained a professorship at Glasgow teaching moral philosophy, and during this\ntime he wrote and published The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In his later life,\nhe took a tutoring position that allowed him to travel throughout Europe, where\nhe met other intellectual leaders of his day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSmith laid the foundations of classical free market economic\ntheory. The Wealth of Nations was a precursor to the modern academic discipline\nof economics. In this and other works, he expounded upon how rational\nself-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity. Smith was\ncontroversial in his own day and his general approach and writing style were\noften satirised by Tory writers in the moralising tradition of William Hogarth\nand Jonathan Swift. In 2005, The Wealth of Nations was named among the 100 Best\nScottish Books of all time. The minor planet 12838 Adamsmith was named in his\nmemory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBio from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
