The Wealth of Nations

By Adam Smith

This dialogic book will teach you to think in systems. You will understand why nations prosper or stagnate, trace the real mechanics behind prices and wages, and gain the tools to evaluate any economic policy with the rigor of a thinker who built the foundations of modern economics.

Free trade or protectionism? Deregulation or state intervention? Every economic debate of the twenty-first century echoes questions Adam Smith first asked in 1776. He wrote during the birth of industrial capitalism, yet his analysis of markets, labor, and the role of government remains the framework through which we argue about prosperity today. You will learn to think inside that framework.
