— Adam Smith

Adam Smith co-hosted the October 2013 ERB News video along with Theodore Roosevelt. He was voiced by Nice Peter. He reported that the company Ubisoft allowed ERB to use a pirate ship designed for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag in Blackbeard vs Al Capone. He also announced the sponsor of Ragnar Lodbrok vs Richard The Lionheart, Rise of Kingdoms, once again alongside Roosevelt.

Information on the host

Adam Smith was born on June 5th, 1723 OS/June 16th, 1723 NS, in Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom. He was a Scottish moral philosopher and a pioneer of political economy. One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is best known for two classic works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. Smith is cited as the "father of modern economics" and is still among the most influential thinkers in the field of economics today. He died at the age of 67 on July 17th, 1790, in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Trivia

  • Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt are the only ERB News hosts who have not been in a battle.
  • In both battles Smith has mentioned, he advertised video games: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Rise of Kingdoms, respectfully.
  • A poll on YouTube created by ERB proposed a battle between Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Marx would later be featured in a poll proposing he battles Henry Ford, which would later become an episode of the series.
