We invited Hillhead Primary pupils to @uofgasbs.bsky.social to celebrate #WealthofNations250 by telling us why Adam Smith still matters today.
Watch what they have to say in this BBC Scotland workshop (and always remember to put yourself in someone else’s shoes!).

Oh hey Adam Smith - happy 250th birthday to your book!
Loved working with the talented team @uofgasbs.bsky.social on celebrating the 🌍 impact that The Wealth of Nations and Adam Smith continue to have.
