Did you know much of our modern theories and thoughts on economics have roots with a 18th century Scotsman? Adam Smith wrote "An Inquiry Into The Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" in 1776 and we still are impacted by his work today. He explored the ideas that we act out of our self-interest, the role of incentives, division of specialized labor and productivity. All of these issues are highly relevant today! Join our panel and all-star academic Dr. Roberta "Bobbi" Herzberg for this discussion on this prolific and relevant author.
