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.
