具体描述

The Wealth of Nations

by Adam Smith

It is symbolic that Adam Smith’s masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence.

In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the workings of a market economy.

The result of Smith’s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.

"Adam Smith's enormous authority resides, in the end, in the same property that we discover in Marx: not in any ideology, but in an effort to see to the bottom of things."

--Robert L. Heilbroner

作者简介

亚当·斯密（Adam Smith, 1723-1790）是经济学的主要创立者。他于1723年出生在苏格兰的克科底，青年时就读于牛津大学。1751年到1764年在格斯哥大学担任哲学教授。在此期间发表了他的第一部著作《道德情操论》，确立了他在知识界的威望。但是他的不朽名声主要在于他在1776年发表的伟大著作《国家财富的性质和原因的研究》。该书一举成功，使他在余生中享受着荣誉和爱戴。1790年，亚当·斯密在克科底去逝。他一生未娶，没有子女。

很佩服该书的两位译者！两位译者有一项独特的能力，他们写的每一个字你都能看懂，但是你就是不知道他这句话是什么意思。妈的！

文风过于晦涩

这本是英文原版的经济学经典，对经济学有兴趣的话这本书应该是必看的，只不过能不能看完那1208页就是另一回事了。看过这本再看资本论应该会更容易理解马克思的想法吧？
