"The Wealth of Nations" is a treasured classic of political economy. First published in March of 1776, Adam Smith wrote the book to influence a special audience - the British Parliament - and its arguments in the early spring of that year pressed for peace and cooperation with Britain's colonies rather than war. Smith's message was that economic exploitation, through the monopoly trade of empire, stifled wealth-creation in both home and foreign lands. Moreover, protectionism preserved the status quo, and privileged a few elites at the expense of long run growth. Smith wrote, 'It is the industry which is carried on for the benefit of the rich and the powerful that is principally encouraged by our mercantile system. That which is carried on for the benefit of the poor and the indigent is too often either neglected or oppressed.' This edition, based on the classic Cannan version of the text, includes a foreword by George Osborne MP and an introduction by Jonathan B. Wight, University of Richmond, which aims to place the work in a business context. Wight also provides an invaluable 'Notable Quotes' section where he extracts and categorises some of the most famous and pertinent sections of Smith's work. This classic work is as essential today as it was when it first written.

評分很佩服該書的兩位譯者!兩位譯者有一項獨特的能力,他們寫的每一個字你都能看懂,但是你就是不知道他這句話是什麼意思。媽的!
評分雖然這本書被說成是經濟學的著作,但經濟永遠是和政治密不可分的。作者寫這本書的時候,正處於美國獨立戰爭爆發之前的緊張時刻,作者提齣的方法如果能夠得以實現,也許今日世界的版圖會大不相同,而英國政府恰恰選擇瞭目光短淺的作法,緻使美國獨立。亞當斯密認為:英國作為一...
