噢,是他 :: it's him!

A few days ago when I passed through the spot, he was still all wrapped up (yes, it was quite cool that day) and I had no idea who it was.  Now he is unveiled ... the father of modern economics.

那天經過的時候,他還是全身包裹著的,非常神秘。如今終於揭曉了。(HT: 真理師妹

這位現代經濟學之父,生於愛丁堡對岸,曾工作於愛丁堡,死於愛丁堡,葬於愛丁堡,但竟然要經過二百一十八年之後,才再次屹立人前。

也想不到二百多年後,竟有人在祖師爺遺像前,開天辟地,致力貫通經濟學與神學中間的大山。將來歷史一筆,大概可以譽為『經濟與神學之母』。有此師妹,老夫與有榮焉。

飲師兄言重了!如此重任,小妹實感力不從心,只能在大山的一旁觀察山勢,企圖為後人繪畫些開發的可能性。如果說要開山闢路,恐怕愧對列祖列宗了!
