具体描述

Political economy had been studied long before Adam Smith, but the Wealth of Nations may be said to constitute it for the first time as a separate science. The work was based upon a vast historical knowledge, and its principles were worked out with remarkable sanity as well as ingenuity, and skillfully illuminated by apt illustrations. In spite of more than a century of speculation, criticism, and the amassing of new facts and fresh experience, the work still stands at the best all-round statement and defense of some of the fundamental principles of the science of economics. Contents: Of the Causes of Improvement in the Productive Power of Labor and of the Order According to Which its Produce is Naturally Distributed Among the Different Ranks of the People. Of the Nature, Accumulation, and Employment of Stock. Of the Different Progress of Opulence in Different Nations. Of Systems of Political Economy. Of the Revenue of the Sovereign or Commonwealth.

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。
