The Wealth of Nations
Adam Smith
THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOK ON MODERN ECONOMICS The Wealth of Nations is an economics book like no other. First published in 1776, Adam Smith's groundbreaking theories provide a recipe for national prosperity that has not been bettered since. It assumes no prior knowledge of its subject, and over 200 years on, still provides valuable lessons on the fundamentals of economics. This keepsake edition is a selected abridgement of all five books, and includes an Introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon, drawing out lessons for the contemporary reader, a Foreword from Eamonn Butler, Director of the Adam Smith Institute, and a Preface from Dr. Razeen Sally of the London School of Economics.

Review
A very, very, very hard read indeed, but very much necessary. Impressive observation ability by Smith, who first notices the pattern that drives wealth at every scale (from individual to nationwide). It covers everything from real estate, currency, commodities, etc., so you will have to take your time, and take notes!
