An early single volume edition of Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith’s magnum opus. The Wealth of Nations, first published in 1776, provides one of the first accounts of what makes a nation wealthy and became a foundational work of classical economics. Reflecting on the emerging industrial revolution, Smith introduces key economic ideas which shaped market capitalism such as the division of labour, productivity and free markets.
