Author Description

Unique Elements Historical Context Detailed 18th Century Historical Outline An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (commonly referred to simply as The Wealth of Nations)by Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith is one of the first modern economic history books published in 1776. Synopsis When it was first published in 1776, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations was widely regarded as a seminal work of intellectual history. When it comes to economics, this is the first scientific argument supporting its ideas. From market pricing and labour division to monetary, tax, and trade policy, Smith examines the fundamental elements of political economy in this book. Free trade and free markets are important themes throughout, and the government's role in the economy is strictly limited. Smith's theories of capital accumulation, growth, and secular change, among others, are still influential today.
