This is volume 16 in the "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" series. The Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790)
was as a pioneer of political economy. In fact, his economic
thought became the foundation of classical economics and his key
work, "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of
Nations", is considered to be the first modern work in economics.
For Smith, a free competition environment was the best way to
foster economic development that would work in accordance with
natural laws. The framework he set up to explain the free market
remains true to this day. "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" provides comprehensive accounts of the works of seminal
conservative thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines, and
traditions - the first series of its kind. Even the selection of
thinkers adds another aspect to conservative thinking, including
not only theorists but also writers and practitioners. The series
comprises twenty volumes, each including an intellectual biography,
historical context, critical exposition of the thinker's work,
reception and influence, contemporary relevance, bibliography
including references to electronic resources, and an index.
