The Wealth of Nations

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。

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

读后感

之所以加上“我认为”三字是因为我知道许多人对此会嗤之以鼻。但不管你们现在怎么看这个问题，这就是一个简单的事实。总有一天人类会承认。 事实无数次的向我们证明，如果一个体系需要不断的通过附加条件加以修补，那么就说明这个体系本身很可能就是错误的。当年的地心说理论...

老子曾经说，“太上，下知有之。其次，亲而誉之。其次，畏之。其次，侮之。信不足，焉有不信。犹兮其贵言，功成事遂，百姓皆谓我自然。”老子理想中的政治是一种放任无为的政治，最好的政府（统治者）应是一个无为的政府，老百姓知道他的存在就可以了。好政府是很少发...  

大学时候，迷上了经济学，其实在高中就喜欢政治，历史。不过直到接触到经济学之后，才发现，原来社会竟然能够被分析的这样淋漓透彻。 大学期间，读了很多的经济学的著作，不过开始的时候都是读最近期的，可是近期的著作数学用的越来越高深，我虽然学的是工科，可是大学的时候...  

虽然这本书被说成是经济学的著作，但经济永远是和政治密不可分的。作者写这本书的时候，正处于美国独立战争爆发之前的紧张时刻，作者提出的方法如果能够得以实现，也许今日世界的版图会大不相同，而英国政府恰恰选择了目光短浅的作法，致使美国独立。亚当斯密认为：英国作为一...

very simple and confident the way adam wrote the book. these are the principles that he had found out and had been following during his daily administrative works and he thought understanding these things could help his decision making process while increasing the efficiency of his works since he would be able to persuade others to do the things the way he wanted it. he would be successful in achieving his objectives as long as the opinions or principles are hard to prove either right or wrong by people related to his decisions, or in other words, he knew what all the others related are thinking and based on that, he proposed the ruling principle. we use the same techniques in our daily life, and we need to adjust that basic principle of ours with the surrounding knowledge level or scale people possess. at first the level was mostly in terms of physical power while later it takes in the intellectual part.

All the greatness belongs to Smith.
