The Wealth of Nations
About this book
The book that changed the way the world understands money, markets, and prosperity. The Wealth of Nations, first published in 1776, is Adam Smith's masterpiece and one of the most influential works in the history of economics.
In this monumental text, Smith lays out the principles of free markets, division of labor, productivity, and the invisible hand that guides economic growth. His insights into trade, taxation, and the nature of wealth remain as relevant today as they were over two centuries ago.
More than an economic manual, this work is a profound reflection on society, human behavior, and the forces that shape nations. From the mechanics of commerce to the moral philosophy of prosperity, Smith's ideas laid the foundation for modern capitalism and continue to inspire economists, leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide.
Celebrated as a cornerstone of political economy, The Wealth of Nations is essential reading for anyone interested in history, business, or the principles that drive global markets.
