Adam Smiths The Wealth of Nations gives an in-depth discussion of different economic principles like the productivity, division of labor and free markets. Although written and published more than 200 years ago, its still hailed as one of the most original works in the field of economics and is still used as a reference by many modern economists. An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is the complete title of this book and it was first published in 1776, the same year that the American colonies declared their independence from Britain. Its interesting to note that Adam Smith once suggested to British authorities before this year that they should let the colonies be represented in the British parliament because of the contributions they give to the British Empire. But as we all know, they didnt follow his suggestion and the Americans in defiance of British rule declared their independence. Experts at the time argued that if the British only followed Smiths suggestion, the American Revolution wouldnt have happened. Aside from this, Adam Smith had many other brilliant ideas about politics and economics, many of which were discussed in this book. He was the first economist to make an in-depth analysis about the division of labor, how it affects productivity, and what real price is. He also explained in this book the reasons why he opposed mercantilism, an economic theory which was very popular during that time. Then, he recommended and discussed here why free trade is better for nations. This was one of the first books about economics which advocates free trade. This concept is very important in modern economics and have now been embraced by most of the whole world. The Wealth of Nations is an indispensable work that every student of economics should read. Its a timeless classic and many of the concepts discussed in it are still valid today. Language: en-us Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
