Scottish economist and moralist, whose Wealth of Nations (1776) was a landmark in the development of "classical economics," the alternative philosophy to mercantilism. Smith was the architect of the philosophy of free-market capitalism. He wished to free the economy to operate in accordance with the laws of nature. Infinite growth potentiality would result from natural competition.
