The Wealth of Nations
The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith is a foundational 1776 text in classical economics by the Scottish thinker widely seen as the father of modern economics, exploring the mechanics of free markets, national productivity, and division of labor.
Discussed“Adam Smith, before he wrote The Wealth of Nations, he wrote this philosophy book; he was taught by a professor who was a big fan of Stoics and it’s called The Theory of Moral Sentiments.”
