-Descripcion Original:

While it has been pointed to time and again by governments and pundits promoting laissez-faire economics, The Wealth of Nations actually shows that Adam Smith viewed capitalism with a deep suspicion, and tempered his celebration of a self-regulating market with a darker vision of thedehumanizing potential of a profit-oriented society. Smith did not write an economics textbook, but rather a panoramic narrative about the struggle for individual liberty and general prosperity in history. This edition includes generous selections from all five books of The Wealth of Nations. Italso provides full notes and a commentary that places Smiths work within a rich interdisciplinary context.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
