Description
The Wealth of Nations Books 1-3 by Adam Smith is a foundational work in economic theory that explores the principles of free market capitalism. First published in 1776, this influential treatise examines the division of labour and its role in driving economic growth, as well as the origins of money and the importance of wages, profit, rent, and stocks. Smith's analysis combines ethics, philosophy, and history to create a comprehensive understanding of society, making The Wealth of Nations a rich and nuanced work that continues to shape economic thought today. This edition includes an analytical introduction, preface, further reading, and explanatory notes by Andrew Skinner, providing valuable context and insights for readers. Published by Penguin Classics, this volume represents a significant contribution to the global literary canon, offering authoritative texts and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
