Description
Both Hume and Smith are influential philosophers and economists, and wrote some of the most important historical works in the beginnings of the study of economics. Both men wrote a variety of essays and publications on the subject, and were both published and respected men in their days. Hume and Smith have different writings with different focuses: Hume primarily focused on philosophy, while much of Smith’s writings centered on economics based on philosophy. While they may not have always agreed, there is a definite link between the two writers, and they are more similar than not in their writings.
