41. Adam Smith
    An 1881 biography by James Anson Farrer.  
    http://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/smith/farrer.html
    
    Extractions: The fame of Adam Smith rests so deservedly on his great work, the Wealth of Nations , that the fact is apt to be lost sight of, that long before he distinguished himself as a political economist he had gained a reputation, not confined to his own country, by his speculations in moral philosophy. The Theory of Moral Sentiments was first published in 1759, when its author was thirty-six; the Wealth of Nations in 1776, when he was fifty-three. The success of the latter soon eclipsed that of his first work, but the wide celebrity which soon attended the former is attested by the fact of. the sort of competition that ensued for translating it into French. Rochefoucauld, grandson of the famous author of the Maxims Memoirs as having been impressed by Adam Smith's Theory with a great idea of its author's wisdom and depth of thought. The publication of these two books, the only writings published by their author in his lifetime, are strictly speaking the only episodes which form anything like landmarks in Adam Smith's career. The sixty-seven years of his life (1723-90) were in other respects strangely destitute of what are called "events;" and beyond the adventure of his childhood, when he was carried away by gipsies but soon rescued, nothing extraordinary ever occurred to ruffle the even surface of his existence. If, therefore, the happiness of an individual, like that of a nation, may be taken to vary inversely with the materials afforded by them to the biographer or the historian, Adam Smith may be considered to have attained no mean degree of human felicity. From his ideal of life, political ambition and greatness were altogether excluded; it was his creed that happiness was equal in every lot, and that contentment alone was necessary to ensure it. "What," he asks, "can be added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt, and has a clear conscience?"

49. From Revolution To Reconstruction: Biographies: Adam Smith
    Biography of economist-philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790).  
    http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/B/asmith/adams1.htm
    
    Extractions: FRtR Biographies Adam Smith Quote Adam Smith was a Scottish political economist and philosopher. He has become famous by his influential book The Wealth of Nations (1776). Smith was the son of the comptroller of the customs at Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. The exact date of his birth is unknown. However, he was baptized at Kirkcaldy on June 5, 1723, his father having died some six months previously. At the age of about fifteen, Smith proceeded to Glasgow university, studying moral philosophy under "the never-to-be-forgotten" Francis Hutcheson (as Smith called him). In 1740 he entered Balliol college, Oxford, but as William Robert Scott has said, "the Oxford of his time gave little if any help towards what was to be his lifework," and he relinquished his exhibition in 1746. In 1748 he began delivering public lectures in Edinburgh under the patronage of Lord Kames. Some of these dealt with rhetoric and belles-lettres, but later he took up the subject of "the progress of opulence," and it was then, in his middle or late 20s, that he first expounded the economic philosophy of "the obvious and simple system of natural liberty" which he was later to proclaim to the world in his Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations . About 1750 he met David Hume, who became one of the closest of his many friends.

57. Adam Smith - The Wealth Of Nations - 'Squashed Philosophers' Abridged Edition
    A condensed edition of Adam Smith s The Wealth of Nations with study notes and glossary.  
    http://www.btinternet.com/~glynhughes/squashed/smith.htm
    
    Extractions: When Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations there were no economists, for he invented the science of Economics. Born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, he became professor of logic at Glasgow in 1751, becoming professor of moral philosophy the following year. A personal friend of David Hume , his travels through Europe and his many contacts in business and government gave him the opportunity of making very detailed studies of the social forces giving rise to competition, trade, and markets. It is a remarkable achievement that, nearly 250 years on, this work, with its idea of the "invisible hand" of economic incentives, is still one of the essential basic texts of its field. ABOUT THIS SQUASHED EDITION Although large by the standards of the 'Squashed Philosopher' series at 13,000 words, this condensed version has reduced Smith's monumental 383,000-word, 1000-page work to about 3.5% of its original size. Very little of his basic economic theory has been lost, but, the general theory now being so widely understood and accepted, it was not thought necessary to include anything more than a taste of the vast array of fiscal and financial data, historical examples and justifications Smith provides. However, more than a fair smattering of his fascinating asides have been retained, despite the fact that some think the source of much of his data, about pin-making for instance, to be simply anecdotal. How he obtained his information about the beauty of Irish prostitutes is not known.

58. Smith, Adam: EServer Technical Communication Library
    A bibliography of works by Smith, Adam in the field of technical communication.  
    http://tc.eserver.org/authors/Smith,_Adam
    
    Extractions: Why is Usability So Hard? I was asked a very interesting question the other day. 'Why is usability so hard? Isn't it just common sense?' This is a great question, and one that took me a long time to be able to answer. My difficulty was not because usability is actually easy, but because it can be hard to approach that question properly. The answer is complex and detailed, but like all good things, the basic idea behind it can be explained simply. It's that simple answer that eluded me until now. The problem is partly in the questions. Usability testing is relatively simple and straightforward. The first question should really be 'why is it so hard to build usable sites?' Common sense is not an empirical truth; it's entirely based on our own experiences. Some truths may be more common than others, but little can be safely assumed on behalf of all people. Smith, Adam

59. The Betrayal Of Adam Smith
    Extract from David C. Korten s When Corporations Rule The World .  
    http://www.pcdf.org/corprule/betrayal.htm
    
    Extractions: by David C. Korten It is ironic that corporate libertarians regularly pay homage to Adam Smith as their intellectual patron saint, since it is obvious to even the most casual reader of his epic work The Wealth of Nations that Smith would have vigorously opposed most of their claims and policy positions. For example, corporate libertarians fervently oppose any restraint on corporate size or power. Smith, on the other hand, opposed any form of economic concentration on the ground that it distorts the market's natural ability to establish a price that provides a fair return on land, labor, and capital; to produce a satisfactory outcome for both buyers and sellers; and to optimally allocate society's resources. Through trade agreements, corporate libertarians press governments to provide absolute protection for the intellectual property rights of corporations. Smith was strongly opposed to trade secrets as contrary to market principles
