Alyse: Hello Adam.
Adam: Hello Alyse.
Alyse: Could I ask you a few things?
Adam: If you would like.
Alyse: One, when were you born?
Adam: June 5th 1723.
Alyse: Cool. What about your life? Anything important?
Adam: Well, it was a very uneventful life. Very sheltered as well. Besides my mother, bless her heart, really no women played any sort of significant role in my life.
Alyse: Well that’s boring.
Adam: I told you it was uneventful. I was a philosopher. And a professor at Edinburgh from 1748- 1751. Then a professor at Glasgow from 1751- 1763. I did write some. Two books became quite popular. One was the Theory of Moral Sentiments, published 1759, and then the Wealth of Nations, published 1776.
Alyse: That sounds cool. Were you known for anything? Like before you died.
Adam: I was called the father of modern capitalism.
Alyse: Cool beans. When did you die?
Adam: July 17th 1790.
Alyse: Kay. Gotta go. Bye.
