The great Scottish Enlightenment thinker Adam Smith, a moral
philosopher who is sometimes referred to as the “father of modern
economics,” wrote in 1762: “The first and chief design of every system
of government is to maintain justice; to prevent the members of a
society from encroaching on one another’s property, or seizing what is
not their own.”
