Friends at the Adam Smith Institute (UK)

The UK-based Adam Smith Institute has as its stated mission:

[To be] the UK's leading innovator of practical market-economic policies. For over 25 years it has been a pioneer in the worldwide movement towards free markets, public-sector reform, and free trade.

As such, it presents a tremendous wealth of information, including, among other things, exhaustive background material on Adam Smith himself, together with the full text of The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments.

One of their adroit blog-meisters alerted me to a new post listing the Top 10 Scots of all time.  Guess who comes in at #1?  I rest my case.
