Insightful

I read this book for my liberal studies course at Western Washington. I found the selections to be interesting, and insightful. They were picked well, and although complicated subjects, they were presented in a way so that it was easy for the reader to grasp the concepts. If you are going to read Adam Smith, I strongly recommend this edition.
