Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adam Smith is widely recognized as the father of free market economics and open trade systems. He wrote the groundbreaking book, "The Wealth of Nations," in which he critiqued and debunked many of the central tenets of Mercantilism. Bertil Ohlin and Eli Heckscher were also influential economists, but they did not have the same impact on the development of free market economics as Adam Smith. Henry Ford, while an important figure in the history of business and industry, was not an economist. John Locke was a philosopher who wrote about politics and social contract theory, but he did not contribute significantly to the development of free market economics.
