Answer:

Out of the given options, Adam Smith was the only political theorist and philosopher who was in favor of capitalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Adam Smith, a 'Scottish philosopher and economist', is regarded as the 'father of capitalism'.
  • Adam Smith was recognizably the first to speak about the potential of a free trade market.
  • He believed that it was only through capitalism the prosperity would come.
  • Karl Marx, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and John Locke were socialists, not capitalists.
