THE WEALTH OF NATIONS (PB)

Even after two centuries since
its first publication in 1776, The Wealth of Nations remains as influential
as it was deemed before. Smith has elaborated on his thesis that it is
human’s natural inclination towards self-interest that leads to prosperity; they
add to public interest through their everyday choices. This book gives an
insight into extensive assessment of the creation of a nation’s wealth; it
examines the division of labour, the origin and use of money, the division of
stock, the rise and progress of cities and towns after the fall of the Roman
Empire, the systems of political economy and the taxes on various private
revenues.
