   The Wealth of Nations

   Adam Smith · Discussed · 1 episode

   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

   “I think the partial answer to what you're asking might be to think along the lines of Adam Smith, who saw two different spheres, and in 'The Wealth of Nations,' he talked about the invisible hand which governs the market, but then he also talked about the theory of moral sentiments, which was the realms where the market didn't go.”
