With the recent controversy over Chinese products, I have put together this timeline of recalls.

Although the British philosopher Adam Smith is generally considered the father of economics, his ideas built upon a considerable body of work from predecessors in the eighteenth century. They in turn were grappling with wisdom received from centuries before and attempting to apply it to a modern setting. Economics was not considered a separate discipline until the nineteenth century.
