The Wealth of Nations was published 9 March 1776, during the Scottish Enlightenment and the Scottish Agricultural Revolution. It influenced a number of authors and economists, as well as governments and organizations. For example, Alexander Hamilton was influenced in part by The Wealth of Nations to write his Report on Manufactures, in which he argued against many of Smith's policies. Interestingly, Hamilton based much of this report on the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and it was, in part, Colbert's ideas that Smith responded to with The Wealth of Nations. Many other authors were influenced by the book and used it as a starting point in their own work, including Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus and, later, Ludwig von Mises. The Russian national poet Aleksandr Pushkin refers to The Wealth of Nations in his 1833 verse-novel Eugene Onegin.

So hard to read

In reading this book, I could only read 2 pages per hour. It is super hard to read. But it was worth it to make it to the end. I loved reading this one, and I got a better handle on what Adam Smith believed.

Excellent book!!! Everyone should read this! This book was recommended reading from Economics professor 20 yrs ago and bought this copy for 17 yo daughter homeschooling economics. One of the best books written about history of money and capitalism.

This is an excellent book for American history buffs. All Americans should be required to read this just to vote.

horrible classic book

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015

This book was made to retain the oppressive status-quo! most Smithians love to use the argument of liberal democracy and invisible hand without knowing the real conditions of the workers! this book was obviously created by reactionaries!
