The Wealth of Nations

The Wealth of Nations
by Adam Smith

It is symbolic that Adam Smith?s masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence.

In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the workings of a market economy.

The result of Smith?s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.

A Must Read For Every Economist

This book is so widely cited and interpreted contrary to the author's original thought, that every economist should read it completely to avoid being misled by such incorrect interpretations.First, let us take the "invisible hand"...

wealth of nations

pretty much the base for most modern thought on capitalism, while still being surprisingly relevant though it was written over 200 years ago.

Adam Smith: Wealth of nations

This version is just too small for such a great book. No room to write interpretations or other side notes. Bought another one, so it has become my door stop for now; until someone offers me a price or simply asks to borrow it.
