Synopsis "The Wealth of Nations"

This seminal work on political economy and the foundation of the modern market economy was originally published in 1776. Rich in historical background and acute observations of the 18th-century scene, Adam Smith's masterpiece of economic analysis is also an insightful work of political philosophy. Its revolutionary concepts, including the notion that self-interest stimulates the healthiest economic conditions for all, remain influential with politicians and economists alike.

His work falls within the essay and economic philosophy, highlighting his analysis of the free market and the division of labor. He studied at the University of Glasgow and Oxford, developing ideas that would influence economic liberalism.

Among his main works is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), known as The Wealth of Nations, a fundamental treatise in classical economics.
