In this episode, we welcome Dr. Bradley Hobbs, a Clinical Professor of Economics at Clemson University. As a specialist in classical economics, Professor Hobbs focuses particularly on Adam Smith’s monumental work, The Wealth of Nations, which he teaches and analyzes.

Our conversation centers on the enduring relevance of Adam Smith’s ideas 250 years after The Wealth of Nations was first published. We delve into core concepts such as the roots of prosperity, the critical roles of exchange and the division of labor, and the connection between economics and moral philosophy in Smith’s thought. We highlight how these foundational concepts remain essential for grasping the mechanics of modern societies.
