He is best known for his work The Wealth of Nations (1776), which is a study on the process of wealth creation and accumulation, themes already considered by mercantilists and physicists, but without the scientific nature of Smith's work. Through this work, which was the first comprehensive and systematic study on the subject, Smith is known as the father of modern economics. He was honorary rector of the University of Glasgow. Adam Smith's biography was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, in 1723 and was the only child of the second marriage of Adam Smith, a customs officer, and Margaret Douglas. Little is known about his childhood, except that at the age of 4 he was abducted by a gypsy gang, being thanks to your uncle's actions. I'm afraid he wouldn't be a good gypsy, said John Ray, his chief biographer. Aside from this incident, Smith's life was exceptionally quiet, and his story is essentially that of his research and books. In 1737, at the age of 14, at the age of 14, a law-making course at a local school in Kirkcaldy, Smith enrolled at the University of Glasgow, where he was influenced by the never forgotten Francis Hutcheson, a renowned professor of moral philosophy who would later be worth incorporating into the Scottish Historical School. It was in this theme that part of practical morality on which Smith would base most of the Wealth of Nations was devoted. After graduating from university in 1740, Smith received a scholarship to Oxford, where he studied for six years at Balliol College, a university in decline, as he would pursue in his work Wealth of Nations. Returning to his mother's house in 1746, Smith went looking for a suitable job, continuing his studies. Between 1748 and 1751, he was an assistant professor of rhetoric and literature chairs in Edinburgh, under the patronage of Lord Kames, who also used him as a lecturer on the same subjects. During this period, he established a close friendship with the philosopher David Hume, a friendship that greatly influenced Smith's economic and ethical theories. In 1751 he was called up by the University of Glasgow to first occupy the Department of Logic and, the following year, moral philosophy. The last position was held for 12 years, which I later described as the most useful and therefore the happiest and most noble in my life. His course of moral philosophy was divided into four parts: natural theology, ethics, jurisprudence and political economics. In 1759 he published his first book, The Theory of Moral Senses, which included the second part of his course and which almost immediately established his academic and literary reputation. He published an essay on the formation of the first language, which was included in the annex in later editions of Moral Sense (six editions were published during his lifetime). In 1763, the mighty aristocrat Charles Townsend offered Smith a lifetime pension in exchange for him as a mentor to his stepson, the third Duke of Bookkleich, during a three-year tour of Switzerland and France. During this trip, he met with French physiotherapists (including Kesnai and Turgot) who defended the economy and policies based on the primacy of natural law, wealth and order, and met his old friend David Hume. He also met other enlightened thinkers such as Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Diderot, D'Alembert, and Necker. In 1766, the sudden illness and death of Hugh Scott Duke, ended the journey, forcing a sudden return to the UK. Smith was essentially inspired by the ideas of Kesnay and Turgot to build their own theory, which would make a difference from those of these authors. For the next seven years, Smith lived with his mother in Kirkcaldy, devoting most of his time to his next book, The Wealth of Nations. This period also described him as happy: Maybe I've never been (so happy) in my life. In 1779 he went to London, taking the manuscript with him, and for five years lived where his circle of friends included Edward Gibbon and Edmund Burke. His friend David Hume died at the time, leading Adam to publish the Letter to William Strahan as an obituary. Because of his books, especially critical religions, praise for Hume has sparked major protests across the UK. Smith later wrote: A simple and harmless piece of paper. caused me ten times as many vituperios as the violent attacks I made against the entire UK trading system. He was appointed Director of Edinburgh Customs in 1778, a position he held until his death on 17 July 1790 due to illness, living with his mother and cousin, Janet Douglas, in Edinburgh. In 1787 he was appointed Honorary Rector of the University of Glasgow, a position he held until 1789. Adam Smith has died at the age of 67. His work scientifically organizes the foundations of modern capitalism and presents its theoretical justification in a way that marks the thinking of the most influential economists of the 19th century (for and against) and which partly continues to inspire free market supporters. However, despite its importance to the history of economic science, it is important to remember that Smith was not primarily (or primarily) an economist; indeed, at one time the economy had not yet developed as an independent discipline. The breadth of his interests, covering not only economics, ethics, political philosophy and jurisprudence, but also literature (old and modern), linguistics, psychology and the history of science, stands out as diversity and analytical depth. Professor Julio Harold Cole of the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the University of Francisco Marrocoun says of Adam Smith: At this time of over-specialization, we cannot help but be impressed by the breadth and depth of Smith's erudition, a faithful and true representative of the spirit of the Scottish Enlightenment. However much we admire his achievements in such diverse fields, there is no denying that his descendants have chosen to remind him mainly of his contribution to economic science, and fame will always be based mainly on his masterpiece, The Wealth of Nations. Although written in English in the 18th century, it now belongs to the world and at all times. Smith definitively separated the economy from the restrictive mercantilist reference framework, which denied the benefits of free trade between countries, and made it a study of the spontaneous (and generally unintentional) social order that arises from voluntary exchanges between individuals that produce benefits for all parties involved, whether domestic or foreign. As long as the love of freedom survives in this world, free people will continue to draw inspiration from Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations. Theory of Moral Sensibs The main article: The Theory of Moral Senses of moral sense of 1759 begins with the study of all human behaviors in which selfishness does not seem to play a decisive role, as Hobbs argued. However, it gives reason for Hobbs postulates that the first human tendency is that self-love. Therefore, he is forced to control and dominate his selfishness, a fundamental element, so that life in society will not become a war of all against all. What is then exposed is the process of empathy (or empathy) through which one subject can put himself in the shoes of another, even if he does not profit from it. Adam Smith attributes this to the influence of the need to be approved by others. It tends to criticize the utilitarian concept, as it appears in Hume. The development of the work leads to the discovery of an unbiased viewer, an internal voice that will dictate ownership or shameless action. Throughout the work, the author explains the origin and functioning of moral feelings: resentment, revenge, virtue, admiration, corruption and justice. The result is a dynamic and historical concept of moral systems, as opposed to more static visions such as those defined by religions. From a philosophical point of view, human nature will be designed to advance the ultimate goals or causes that are not necessarily known to actors who are motivated by effective causes.
