Samenvatting:

First published in 1776, ‘The Wealth of Nations’ was the first comprehensive treatment of political economy by Adam Smith, a Scottish economist, and philosopher, who was a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment.This was the foremost book on economics to catch the public's attention. It delivers a recipe for national prosperity that has not been bettered since, based on small government and the freedom of citizens to act in their best interests. It reassuringly assumes no knowledge of its subject, and over 200 years on still provides valuable lessons on the fundamentals of economics.
