Adam Smith
The Adam Smith Building in Riekerpolder, Amsterdam is named after Adam Smith (1723 – 1790), the Scottish economist, philosopher and author. Smith was a pioneer of political economy and a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment era. He is best known for his book “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” which is considered the first modern work of economics.
Riekerpolder is located in south-west of Amsterdam city center on the A4 motorway and next to the A10 ring road, right between the financial district Amsterdam Zuidas and the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Other office buildings in Riekerpolder carry the names of several famous economists such as Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Say (1767 – 1832) and Englishman John Maynard Keynes (1883 – 1946). Riekerpolder business park is home to remarkable companies such as IBM, PwC, Atradius, Brunel, LeasePlan and B.Amsterdam.
