About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Wealth of Nations - the basis of our entire economy.

    This is a re-read for me, having originally read this some years ago. If one understands Smith's concepts of how wealth is created, how it moves, how to protect it, other such ideas, and utilizes the information, one will always prosper. I have been re-reading this, comparing/contrasting Smith to what is going on in our current economy. Smith is right on target. I recommend The Wealth of Nations to anyone who has an interest in how our economy works, or is supposed to work. He discusses the pitfalls, many of which we are experiencing now, and their likely outcome. Smith is neither a high energy broker, salesman, financial advisor, nor consultant. Adam Smith simply wrote the book which our entire economy is based upon. Buy the book, read it.

  • Wealth of a nation

  • It is appropriate

    By nature of the condensing of two volumes into one, its small print, but that is of little consequence.
