During the Enlightenment, humanity experienced huge increases in understanding, and free thinkers that were so impactful we still study their works today. It was also a time of revolution: the American, French, Scientific, and Industrial.
One of the greatest minds the world has ever known was born into the midst of all this change: Adam Smith. His book, The Wealth of Nations, was a landmark publication and instant bestseller in its day. It is still studied and read today, even if we donât accept all of the ideas inside it as gospel.
Listen to this episode of This Week in Business History as host Kelly Barner examines the philosophy, writing, and relationships of Adam Smith, the father of modern economics and the father of capitalism.

Over the last few years, we have seen ports closed for labor strikes, COVID, and the Ever Given getting stuck sideways in the Suez Canal. Every time a port is closed, it disrupts the flow of materials for a whole region and creates hardships for vast areas and communities that count on that port to supply them with all kinds of things.
But can a closed port be a world history changing rallying point? It was in 1774. In fact, closing the port of Boston led to a turn in public opinion that brought together the residents of the Massachusetts Bay Colony â separatists and loyalists alike â as well as the other 12 colonies. It was a catalyst leading up to the American Revolution.
Listen to this episode of This Week in Business History as host Kelly Barner shares the very business-driven history of the Boston Port Act, which took effect on June 1, 1774.
