Adam Smith is widely considered to be the founder of the classical school of economics, as his book "The Wealth of Nations" is a key foundation of classical economic theory. Jean Say is also a prominent figure in classical economics, but he is not considered the founder of the school. John Keynes, on the other hand, was a prominent figure in the development of macroeconomic theory in the early 20th century and is associated with the Keynesian school of economics, which differs significantly from classical economics. John Howard is not a known figure in economic theory.
