A renowned Scotch political economist; born at Kirkcaldy, June 5, 1723; died at Edinburgh, July 17, 1790. He wrote a "Theory of Moral Sentiments" (1759), in which he finds in human sympathy the cohesive force of social life; "Origin of Languages" (about 1760); and (in 1776) his great work, "Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations", unfairly said to make self-interest the chief motor of society: it only makes that passion the chief motor of making money.
