Adam Smith (1723–1790) was a Scottish ethical philosopher, one of the founders of political economy. In the XVIII century. Smith created a coherent and convincing doctrine of the development of the mechanism of human well-being and its nature.

In his fundamental work "A Study on the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of the People", this eminent scientist formulated the conditions for the inevitable success of economic development, which even during his lifetime has become extremely popular in many countries of the world, including Russia.
