A Masterpiece of Economic Analysis Firstly Published in 1776 by Adam Smith—The Wealth of Nations An American statistic shows that, due to its significant global impact, "The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith" was the most important document published in 1776.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. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the industrial revolution, the book treats broad topics such as the division of labor, division of stock, the progress of opulence, and more. In the early days, economics was about the king's interests, and the wealth of a nation was measured by the king's treasury or by the gold and silver in the country. However, Smith believed that if everyone did what was best for themselves, the result would be best for society. The Wealth of Nations provides the first and most eloquent integrated description of the workings of a market economy. This Unabridged Edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at A Timeless And Seminal Work That Revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth. Here is a bit of what you will discover in this blueprint. The principle leading to the division of labor. The origin and use of money. The Real and Nominal Price of Commodities. Money as a Branch of the General Stock of Society. The Accumulation of Capital. How City Commerce Improves the Country. And much more! This " The Wealth of Nations " edition is a blueprint that everyone should have on their shelf. Scroll up, Click on "Buy Now with 1-Click", and Grab a Copy Today!

Interesting to see the original text that inspired an entire age.
You could found an economic system on this book! And, think of the new class wars this suggests.

Must read to grasp economics
I wanted to see why Elon Musk thinks highly of this book so I ordered a copy. For any serious understanding of how an economy works in any civilization the writings of Adam Smith provide a rich background without being overly academic.

There is no table of contents
There is no table of contents in this Kindle edition. This makes navigating this very long book very difficult and in my opinion, unusable.

L'édition est de qualité médiocre; le texte est bon
Le texte est celui d'Adam Smith, présenté en deux colonnes. Rien à dire de ce côté. Si vous cherchez La richesse des nations en anglais, vous aurez La richesse des nations en anglais. C'est l'édition qui justifie mes 2 étoiles: - La couverture montre un portrait de Smith, mais mal détouré... ça donne l'image générale du soin apporté à l'édition. - même portrait à l'intérieur, mais cette fois pixelisé et mal recadré. Pauvre Smith... - ce manque de soin se retrouve dans le livre, dont la qualité est faible. Une reliure vaguement collée pour 420 pages, ça ne va pas tenir dans le temps. Surtout, ne pas l'ouvrir trop, sous peine de voir des feuilles voler... - Enfin, le texte est imprimé sur deux colonnes, ce qui aide à la lecture (le livre mesure 20cm x 25cm), mais il n'y a quasiment pas de marge. Personnellement, j'ai besoin de prendre des notes. Le texte arrive aussi près des marges que possible et me rend claustrophobe. Toute tendance, même légère, à la dyslexie, sera impitoyablement punie. Il s'agit donc d'une édition créée en 2 minutes, qui ne tiendra pas au-delà de la première lecture. Donc, si vous cherchez un livre jetable ou que tout ce que vous voulez, c'est l'exposer dans votre bibliothèque, achetez cette édition bon marché. Pour tout autre usage, ne faites pas la même erreur que moi et préférez une édition reconnue qui sait produire des reliures et laisse respirer ses textes.

Calidad pobre
Calidad de impresión muy pobre. Texto ligeramente descentrado. Márgenes izquierdos extremadamente ajustados llegando a parecer que los párrafos están incluso cortados. Material de la portada muy fino para un libro tan grande. Se arruga con facilidad.
