Adam Smith was an 18th-century Scottish economist and philosopher, best known for his work 'The Wealth of Nations,' which laid the foundation for classical economics and introduced concepts like the 'invisible hand' of the market. His ideas about free markets, self-interest, and competition shaped modern economic systems, promoting the belief that individual actions can lead to positive societal outcomes without the need for extensive government intervention.
