I learned a lot about Adam Smith that I didn't know about in this three part podcast from Freakonomics.com: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Here are a few examples:

• There is a play about him
• He was from Scotland
• I need to read The Theory of Moral Sentiments
• There a ton of other books and articles about him I wasn't aware of (see them at end of Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3)
• People with very different political views can quote him as if he was on their side
• The history of the East India Company sounds fascinating to deep dive into
