Outdated but Ahead of its time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book, written in 1780s, is outdated and appropriately so. The use of the language can be arcane at times, the examples likewise. At times I could read a passage over ad nausium, yet it would be vex me all the same. And it verbosity is compared to modern standards, on another level. sentences that are composed of five or more lines is constant. However, as you read you it will begin to be revealed why it has received so much approbation. It covers many of the topics that are, nowadays, considered fundamental constitutes of classical economics, and indeed many news books are probably much better suited for teaching about basic economics, but as relic of the past and for its tremendous influence i give it five stars.

Adam Smith makes economics easy to understand. And maybe not as complicated as is thought.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2017

The writing is turgid but informative. Although written over 240 yrs ago, and exhaustive in length, this book is still valuable as an introduction to economics.
