The Wealth of Nations

Welcome to an exploration of one of the most influential works in economic theory: "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith. Published in 1776, this groundbreaking book laid the foundation for modern capitalism and free-market economics. Smith's concept of the "invisible hand" revolutionized our understanding of how self-interest drives economic progress. He argued that individuals pursuing their own goals ultimately benefit society as a whole. The book delves into topics such as division of labor, productivity, and the role of government in the economy. Smith's ideas continue to shape economic policies and debates worldwide, making "The Wealth of Nations" as relevant today as it was over two centuries ago. Join us as we unpack the key principles and enduring legacy of this seminal work.
