ADAM SMITHFreddy GuzmanWilliam Paterson University10/13/13ADAM SMITHAdam Smith is one of the world`s most influential, best-known economist and philosopher. This paper will demonstrate that his contributions in teaching and his theories on wealth creation of nations, free market economics, and management make him the best if not one of the best economists of all time.He was born in Kirkcaldy Scotland in the year 1723, although the exact date is not known. He joined Burgh school where he studied mathematics, Latin, history, and writing. When he was fourteen, Smith went to the University of Glasgow on a scholarship. In 1740, he attended Balliol College at Oxford, and graduated with extensive knowledge of European literature. Adam smith died on 17 July 1790 after a painful illness and he was buried in the Canongate Kirk yard. Adam Smith was a pioneer of political economy, and a moral philosopher. His most famous works for which he was known for were Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations. Wealth of Nations was considered as the bible of capitalism. Wealth of Nations entails early systems of political economy. He is thus considered as the father of modern economics (Buchan, 2006).Adam Smith started giving a series of public lectures at the University of Edinburgh in 1748.

The main contribution of the Division of Labor theory was to break down large jobs into many tiny functions, which enabled workers to be experts in their narrow fields (Otteson, 2011). Smith argued that The Division of Labor increased productivity. He also advocated for matching of skills with work area. Those who were good at a certain area were assigned to that function. He also emphasized on matching technology to improve productivity. The downside of The Division of Labor, and specialization was the mutilation of workers skills, and lack of innovation and growth (Alvey, 2003).The Theory of Moral Sentiments was Smith`s first work, in 1759. He tried to explain human`s moral inclination despite his self-interest personality. Smith explained why humans developed social relations. He concluded that humans showed sympathy to others or in presence of others, and developed a conscience. The moral thinking was an attempt to...

Oh my god! This writing company has saved me from so many bothering and figured out my problem in the best way possible. I am not fond of reading and when this book review was given to me as part of my coursework, I went into depression. But I must say, my writer came up with an amazing book review covering all the major aspects of the book nicely. I am waiting for other assignments to come so that I would come here again. The place is good and quite reasonable as well which makes it easy for me to manage my budget.
