Adam Smith: The Currency of Thought

Overview

Adam Smith is known as the "Father of Capitalism" and the modern world's first economist, but that is only a partial understanding of the Scottish Enlightenment scholar's vision for human flourishing. In reality, Smith defies current-day definitions both in his academic work and his economic thinking. He is best known for writing The Wealth of Nations, but he would caution readers to study his first book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, before considering his ideas about organizing commercial society. The film introduces his thinking to a new generation, dispelling myths and exploring how his insights can help society today.
