The first Glasgow edition. Some slight damage to the spine of volumeone as picturedwhich isreadily repairable. Contains a biography of the author in volume one. Adam Smith 1723-1790 was a moral philosopher and political economist. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is the magnum opus of Adam Smith and was first published in 1776. It is an account of economics at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution as well as a rhetorical piece written for the generally educated individual of the 18th century - advocating a free market economy as more productive and more beneficial to society. The Wealth of Nations had no rival in scope or depth when published and is still one of the few works in its field to have achieved classic status meaning simply that it has sustained yet survived repeated reading critical and adulatory long after the circumstances which prompted it have become the object of historical enquiry. - DNBCondition: The bindings are tight and firm. The hinges are cracked. There ismild wear to the extremities including bumping and some loss. Internally the pages are bright and cleanwith the very occasional scattered foxing only. Overall the condition is very good. Glasgow - J. & J. Scrymgeour hardcover
Atlantic Publishers & Distributors P Ltd 2008. Hardcover. New. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist Adam Smith. It is a compelling account of economics at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution as well as a rhetorical piece written for the generally educated individual of the 18th century advocating a free market economy as more productive and beneficial to society. The work is hailed as a watershed in history and economics owing to its comprehensive largely accurate characterization of economic mechanisms that survives in modern economics and effective use of rhetorical technique including structuring the work to contrast real world examples of free and fettered markets. Like all great books The Wealth of Nations is the outpouring not only of a great mind but of a whole epoch. Adam Smith laid the foundation of the laissez faire philosophy by criticizing governmental regulation of trade commerce and economic activity. The subject matter is divided into five books. Book I deals with the concept of division of labour and its impact on the productivity of labour. Adam Smith divides the society into three social classes: capitalists owning capital; landlords owning land and obtaining their income as rent on land; and workers getting their income as wages from selling their labour in the market. Book II deals with capital accumulation and economic growth and is considered to form the cornerstone of Wealth of Nations. Book III contains a long historical narrative of the development of agriculture in Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire. Book IV deals with Adam Smith s critique of both Mercantilism and Physiocracy which dominated economic thinking in Europe especially in Western Europe for nearly three centuries prior to the publication of this book. In Book V Adam Smith develops a theory of public finance that has effectively influenced all conservative thinking on public finance almost until today. In comparatively recent years especially after the bicentenary celebrations of the publication of The Wealth of Nations a renewed interest in classical economics has turned the attention of many economists to re-examine Adam Smith`s contributions to political economy. In this edition of the Wealth of Nations the superb and scholarly introduction by Robin Ghosh will re-ignite discussions and re-interpretations of Smith s path-breaking work. It will prove immensely useful to the students and teachers of economics researchers in this field as well as economists and policymakers. Printed Pages: 576.
