The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
The Wealth of Nations is considered one of the most important works in economics ever written. It provided the intellectual underpinning for the Industrial Revolution and helped to shape modern capitalism.
This book, long considered to be the magnum opus of the Scottish philosopher and economist Adam Smith, offers a deep analysis into the causes and nature of the wealth of nations.
Though first published in 1776, many of Adam Smith’s arguments for raising living standards are still relevant today. More than that, they form the fundamental basis for classical economic theory.
