Popis: There is a familiar way to appeal to Adam Smith (1723–1790), the famous philosopher and great economic thinker of the Scottish Enlightenment. He is often considered as the father of modern economics and capitalism. We must also consider the frequent references to him. “What would Adam Smith think?” is a formula that the media quite often applies to contemporary economics. This is because, contrary to those who rank Smith among the proponents of neoliberalism, his thought reflects a balance between economics and morality.
