Aleading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment,Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism.
A leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism. 句首的opening clause"A leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment”是用来修饰后面紧随的名词,也就是句子的主语AS。 句尾的"that are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism"中的结构是A is to B what C is to D,意思是A对B来说就像C对D来说一样。 整句话的意思就是:苏格兰启蒙运动中的一位主要任务,AS写了两本重要的书,它们对民主资本主义来说就像马克思的《资本论》对于社会主义一样。
Aleading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment和,Adam Smith是同位语吗?为哈不写成~Adam Smith,a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what Marx's Das Kapital is to socialism.

这句话硬要这样写可以的,语法是不错的,但绝对不是表达意思最好最清晰的。因为当很多人看到a leading figure in ...再接wrote two books人读者早晕了,还得回到句子的最前头看到是Adam Smith才知道是谁写的两本书。当然不如巴拉巴拉介绍他是一位leading figure, 亚当斯密斯童鞋,写了两本谁来得更加明确啊。
