Adam Smith is best remembered for his influential work "The Wealth of Nations," in which he argued for the benefits of free market capitalism and the division of labor. Smith believed that individuals pursuing their own self-interest in a competitive market would ultimately lead to the overall prosperity of society through the invisible hand of the market.
