Adam Smith in Glasgow

Adam Smith is perhaps the most widely read and best remembered of the philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment, that 18th century outpouring of scientific and intellectual advancements. His work The Wealth of Nations, which outlined principles of the free market, is often considered the first ever comprehensive treatment of modern economics. Interested readers will find much to appreciate in this Exhibition from the University of Glasgow, "Adam Smith in Glasgow," where they will find information on Smith's life as a student, a professor, quaestor of the library, and dean of the faculty. Each section offers access to original documents and pithy explanations of Smith's movement through the hierarchy of the University's hallowed halls.
