Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations is a landmark work of political economy first published in 1776 and widely regarded as the foundational text of modern economics. This Wordsworth Classics of World Literature edition presents the book as both a major historical document and a still-relevant analysis of how markets, labor, and trade generate national prosperity. Smith does not write a narrow technical manual; instead, he combines economic reasoning with history, moral philosophy, and social observation to explain why some societies grow richer than others. Central to the work is his argument that division of labor, competition, and voluntary exchange can produce greater wealth than centralized control. At the same time, the book is not a simplistic celebration of markets, because Smith also examines the dangers of monopoly, mercantilism, and policy distortions. It remains important reading for understanding the intellectual origins of capitalism and the assumptions behind market-based economic thought.
