About the book
The Wealth of Nations, in full An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, is a study of economics by Adam Smith, the Scottish philosopher. It was first published in London in 1776, and Smith went on revising it; this text includes the additions of the third edition, of 1784. Smith asks what makes a nation rich, and answers that its wealth is the produce of its labour, not its store of gold and silver.
