Adam Smith wird 1723 in Kirkaldy in Schottland geboren. Mit 14 Jahren beginnt er das Studium an der Universität Glasgow in den Fächern Klassische Philologie, Moralphilosophie und Mathematik u.a. als Schüler Hutchesons. 1750 beruft man Smith, der immer noch ohne größere Publikation ist, an die Universität Glasgow. 1759 geht sein erstes großes Werk aus dem ethischen Kurs der moralphilosophischen Vorlesungen unter dem Titel Theorie der ethischen Gefühle hervor, das ihn weit über die Grenzen Schottlands hinaus bekannt macht. In das Zentrum seiner Abhandlung stellte Smith die Frage nach dem moralischen Urteil. Wie Hume hält er dabei die menschliche Natur für die Grundlage der Moral und sieht im Gefühl der Sympathie das entscheidende Motiv für die Billigung bzw. Nichtbilligung einer Handlung. 1776 erscheint Eine Untersuchung über Natur und Ursachen des Wohlstands der Nationen. Nach der Natur und den Ursachen des Wohlstandes und seiner Verteilung fragend, entwickelt Smith hier ein Modell der wirtschaftlichen Mechanismen und spricht sich für die natürliche Freiheit des Marktprozesses aus, dessen Akkumulationsdynamik er erkennt. Die Eigensucht wird dabei zum movens eines effektiven Wohlfahrtssystems transformiert. Damit bleibt die Ökonomie bei Smith ein Teil der Moralphilosophie.Adam Smith stirbt 1790 in Edinburgh.
