The Adam Smith Institute is one of the world's leading think tanks. Independent, non-profit and non-partisan, we work to promote neoliberal and free market ideas through research, publishing, media commentary, and educational programmes. The Institute is today at the forefront of making the case for free markets and a free society in the United Kingdom.

The Adam Smith Global Foundation was launched in 2012 in Adam Smith’s birth town of Kirkcaldy. They aim to deliver initiatives which will commemorate his work on an international scale, as well as raising awareness of the role that Kirkcaldy played in his life.
