The Wealth of Nations is Adam Smith’s foundational treatise on political economy, first published in 1776 and widely regarded as one of the most influential books in the history of economics. Written as a systematic investigation into the nature and causes of national prosperity, it challenges the older view that a country’s wealth depends mainly on hoarded gold and silver. Instead, Smith argues that wealth comes from productive labor, exchange, and the efficient organization of society. The book is not a simple defense of markets; it is a broad analysis of how specialization, commerce, prices, wages, capital, taxation, and state policy interact to shape economic life. Its purpose is both explanatory and critical: to show how nations grow richer and to identify the institutional barriers that prevent growth. Because it combines economic theory with close observation of commercial practice, the book remains central to understanding classical economics and the intellectual origins of modern market systems.
