Summary

Adam Smith is widely considered to be the father of modern economics. His influence is far and wide - from the Founding Fathers of the country to the economic and classical liberal strands of libertarianism. In this episode, we pay tribute to the enduring genius of Adam Smith by discussing some of his most powerful and influential concepts — ideas that continue to ignite liberty and prosperity centuries later, such as the invisible hand, division of labor, man of system, cooperation, competition, limited government and free market capitalism.
