When the Scottish moral philosopher and economist Adam Smith (1723-1790) first published The Wealth of Nations in 1776, capitalism as we know it today barely existed. Most people in the West still worked for themselves in small shops or as subsistence farmers. But the worldwide spread of European empires, with their global, interconnected networks of shipping and trade, and the growth of trading markets, created a burgeoning new business class. Smith didn’t just study this development of a new commercial sphere, he constructed an entire philosophy around it that helped created the modern theory of capitalism. Smith’s case for the simplification of government tariffs and the opening up of markets is used frequently in the modern world as an argument for completely unfettered capitalism. But as a moral philosopher, Smith was just as interested in building a more stable and just society as he was liberating capital from regulations. He maintained that the “invisible hand” of the market and the self-interest of individuals could ultimately be positive forces once unchained from Europe’s barely post-feudal government. In doing so he created, arguably, the entire discipline of modern economics. In The Wealth of Nations you will find not just a vividly written and uncommonly passionate defense of the free market as a liberalizing force, but a fascinating look at both the financial and moral underpinnings of all Western society.

On March 9, 1776, An inquiry into the nature and causes of national wealth - often referred to simply as National Wealth - was published for the first time. Smith, a Scottish, philosopher of ethics through marketing, wrote the book to explain the industrial power system that upsets the mercantilist system. Mercantilism emphasized that the economy was limited. The only way to be successful is to hoard gold and tax foreign trade. According to this theory, countries should sell their products to other countries without buying anything. Predictably, countries have entered into a form of reparative debt that has stifled international trade.This free market force that Adam Smith called the invisible hand needs support to work its magic. In particular, the market resulting from the increasing division of labor, both in the production process and in society in general, has created a system of dependence. These relationships promote the common good through individual profit motives.In other words, if you are a professional baker and only produce bread, you will depend on someone else for clothing, meat, and beer. In the meantime, the experts in clothing will depend on you for their bread and other things. Economic growth occurs when people want goods and services that they cannot produce themselves.

First published in 1776, the year in which the American Revolution officially began, Smith's Wealth of Nations sparked a revolution of its own. 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. Right from examining the division of labour, the origin and use of money and the division of stock, to 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, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations provides an extensive assessment of the creation of a nation's wealth. The book was a landmark work in the history and economics as it was comprehensive and an accurate characterization of the economic mechanisms at work in modern economics. Smith believed in a Meritocracy. Smith emphasized the advancement that one could take based on their will to better themselves. This is simply one of the most important books ever written on the subject of economics. Laying the foundation of classical political economy, this magnum opus is considered one of the best non-fiction books of all time. More than two centuries after its first publication in 1776, The Wealth of Nations continues to remain as influential as ever.

The Wealth of Nations was written by the eighteenth-century Scotsman Adam Smith, the "father of modern economics." It is a foundational treatise in economic thought. It discusses the benefits of the division of labor, competition, and trade. It famously argues that, where markets are competitive, an individual pursuing his or her self-interest, is led by "an invisible hand" to advance the public interest.
