Wrong again, Kenneth... Modern economic study began with Keynes I hate to break it to you, but Adam Smith is the one credited as the father of modern economics: The Wealth of Nations, one of the earliest attempts to study the rise of industry and commercial development in Europe, was a precursor to the modern academic discipline of economics. In this and other works, Smith expounded how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity and well-being. It also provided one of the best-known intellectual rationales for free trade and capitalism, greatly influencing the writings of later economists. Smith was ranked #30 in Michael H. Hart's list of the most influential figures in history,[69] and he is often cited as the father of modern economics.[70] en.wikipedia.org This is wrong as well: long after Jefferson. The "Wealth of Nations" was published in 1776. Ironically, that would make Jefferson about 33 years old (Thomas Jefferson was born April 13, 1743 and died on July 4, 1826.) Those economics classes that you allegedly took are really paying you dividends now, eh? You are ever the useful idiot. LOL! Diz-
