MODERATORS
You can make a very good argument that it was Adam Smith, with Wealth of Nations.
And his stated goal was competitive markets forever, not absolute monarchy with more steps. People dunk on conservatives by quoting that book.
It was influential, but capitalism had essentially already come about in a limited form.
