Adam Smith

Step into the mind of Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, and discover the groundbreaking ideas that forever changed the way we understand wealth, trade, and human progress. The Wealth of Nations is not just a book of theory—it is a living exploration of how ordinary human instincts, like the urge to exchange and the pursuit of self-interest, shape the prosperity of entire societies. Through vivid examples—from pin factories to the woolen coat on a laborer's back—Smith unveils how specialization, markets, and money create abundance, and how wages, profits, and rents distribute that abundance across classes. More than two centuries later, his insights on free markets, monopolies, and the delicate balance between labor and capital remain as strikingly relevant as ever. This is not merely an economics book—it is a powerful story of human ambition, cooperation, and the invisible forces that continue to shape nations today. Anyone curious about the roots of capitalism, the foundations of prosperity, or the timeless struggles between workers, employers, and landlords will find this classic both eye-opening and indispensable.
