Podcast Episode | Smith & Society
In this episode, we dive into the life and legacy of Adam Smith, the Scottish philosopher often called the “father of modern economics.” We explore his groundbreaking works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations, uncovering how Smith’s ideas on morality, markets, and human behavior continue to shape our world today.
From the famous metaphor of the “invisible hand” to the importance of sympathy, justice, and public goods, this episode unpacks Smith’s vision of a society where prosperity is balanced with virtue. Along the way, we connect his 18th-century insights to modern debates about globalization, inequality, and the role of government.
