The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

Published in 1776, Adam Smith's book "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" became the first comprehensive treatise in the field of economics. It is rightly considered one of the most authoritative books of all time, and its author is regarded as the founder of classical political economy. In this edition, Karen McCreadie interprets Adam Smith's timeless work from the perspective of the modern world of finance, business, and economics, accompanying his ideas with examples from the 21st century.
