Adam Smith was the father of capitalism, the theory that individuals should own the means of production and government should not become involved. It was because of his thinking that private business enterprises were allowed to develop unhindered with their sole motive being profit.

Smith was the author of <span>An Inquiry into the Causes of the Wealth of Nations. </span>He opposed the old theory of Mercantilism and suggested private ownership of enterprise instead. His argument was that government should only provide those services which could not be offered by private enterprise for profit, primarily national defense and public services such as police protection and water and sewer.
