Albert Einstein is often credited with changing classical thinking in the twentieth century, primarily through his theories of relativity. His 1905 paper on special relativity challenged the traditional notions of space and time, while his 1915 general relativity further revolutionized the understanding of gravity. These theories fundamentally altered the framework of physics, leading to new perspectives on the universe and laying the groundwork for modern physics.
You're probably thinking of The Wealth of Nations. The bible of classical economics.
He argued that observation and experimentation are the most important tools for understanding the natural world
That is a matter of opinion. Enlightenment thinking is responsible for the way that modern democracies function, industrialization is responsible for the way the economy in those democracies (and in other 'modern' countries) functions. You could however argue that the form of industrialization that the industrial revolution started is already changing under the influence and possibilities of today's digital age; but that the democratic form of government that is a result of Enlightenment thinking still endures and will continue to do so for a considerable time. So it's debatable which of the two is more 'significant'; Enlightenment is at least more enduring.

The classical thinking of the early 20th century was significantly influenced by various figures, notably Albert Einstein, whose theory of relativity revolutionized concepts of space and time. Additionally, the development of quantum mechanics by scientists like Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg challenged traditional notions of determinism and introduced probabilistic interpretations of physical phenomena. Philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein also contributed to shifts in thought, particularly in language and meaning. Together, these advancements transformed scientific and philosophical perspectives, leading to a more complex understanding of reality.

I think you are thinking of Classical, but it might also be shopaholic that you're thinking of.
The most responsible figure for modifying classical thinking among industrial nations in Western Europe and North and South America is likely Karl Marx. His critique of capitalism and emphasis on class struggle challenged traditional economic theories and social structures, inspiring movements that sought to address inequalities. Additionally, thinkers like John Maynard Keynes further transformed classical economics by advocating for government intervention in the economy, especially during times of crisis. Together, these intellectual shifts laid the groundwork for modern economic and social theories.
Renaissance means "Rebirth" or "Revival". It was a rebirth or revival of classical thinking and of the concepts of "Humanism". It was a revival of scholars, free-thinking, and the arts.
