Nothing but the most exemplary morals can give dignity to a man of small fortune. Adam Smith (16 June 1723 â 17 July 1790) was a Scottish-born economist and philosopher, widely considered the father of modern economics.
The exact date of his birth is unknown, but we known that he was baptized on 16 June 1723 (or 5 June in the old style Julian calendar). His father, also named Adam Smith, was a lawyer and civil servant, who died six months before Smith's birth; his mother was Margaret Douglas.
