Summary "Adam Smith" by Francis W. Hirst is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life and contributions of the influential economist and philosopher Adam Smith, best known for his seminal work "The Wealth of Nations." Hirst explores Smith's early life, education, and the philosophical influences that shaped his thinking, providing context for his later ideas on economics and moral philosophy. The opening of the book provides a detailed exploration of Adam Smith’s early years, highlighting his birth in Kirkcaldy and the socio-economic environment of the town during the early 18th century. It discusses his family's background and early education, illustrating his budding intellectual prowess as he attended the Grammar School and later the University of Glasgow. The passage also introduces key figures in his life, such as his mother and his mentor, Francis Hutcheson, emphasizing the academic and philosophical foundations that influenced Smith's eventual development of ideas on ethics and economics. This rich narrative sets the stage for understanding how Smith's formative experiences contributed to his later status as one of the foundational figures in economic thought.
