An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets. (source: Wikipedia)
Adam Smith
Adam Smith (1723–1790) was a Scottish economist and philosopher, widely regarded as the father of modern economics. His seminal work, ‘The Wealth of Nations’ (1776), explores the nature and causes of economic prosperity. Smith introduces key concepts such as the "invisible hand" and the benefits of free markets, advocating for minimal government intervention. His ideas laid the foundation for classical economics, influencing economic thought and policy for centuries, and shaping the development of capitalism in the modern world.
