Adam Smith is a Scottish moral philosopher and economist. He is considered the founder of classical economics and a pioneer of political economy. He is best known for his two classic books: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). It is one of his most important effects, and the first work dealing with modern economics, and was known for short, as “The Wealth of Nations.” He called for promoting individual initiative, competition, and freedom of trade, as the best way to achieve the greatest amount of wealth and happiness. Smith is considered the father of modern economics, and he is still considered one of the most influential economic thinkers in today's economics. In 2009, Smith was named among the "Greatest Scots" of all time, in a vote on a Scottish television channel. Smith studied social philosophy at the University of Glasgow and at Balliol College, Oxford, and after graduating gave a successful series of public lectures at the University of Edinburgh. He then obtained a professorship in Glasgow teaching moral philosophy, during which time he wrote and published The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Smith later worked as a tutor, which allowed him to travel around Europe, where he met some of the great thinkers of his day. Smith then returned to his country, and spent about ten years working on his book The Wealth of Nations, which was then published in 1776. Smith then died in 1790 at the age of 67.

La Riqueza De Las Naciones pdf by Adam Smith

Una investigación sobre la naturaleza y causas de la riqueza de las naciones (título original en inglés: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations), o sencillamente La riqueza de las naciones, es la obra más célebre de Adam Smith. Publicado en el 9 de marzo de 1776, es considerado el primer libro moderno de economía.
Smith expone su análisis sobre el origen de la prosperidad de países como Inglaterra o los Países Bajos. Desarrolla teorías económicas sobre la división del trabajo, el mercado, la moneda, la naturaleza de la riqueza, el precio de las mercancías en trabajo, los salarios, los beneficios y la acumulación del capital. Examina diferentes sistemas de economía política, en particular, el mercantilismo y la fisiocracia; asimismo, desarrolla la idea de un orden natural. Este «sistema de libertad natural», como lo llama Smith, es el resultado del libre ejercicio del interés individual que beneficia exitosamente —sin proponérselo— al bien común en la solución de problemas y satisfacción de necesidades por medio de la libre empresa, de la libre competencia y del libre comercio.
