by Adam Smith

Book Overview

The Works of Adam Smith V5 is a comprehensive collection of writings by the renowned Scottish economist and philosopher, Adam Smith. This volume includes some of Smith's most influential works, such as his seminal treatise on economics, The Wealth of Nations, as well as his lesser-known but equally insightful essays on moral philosophy, politics, and the nature of human society. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Smith's thought. The first section contains The Wealth of Nations, which is considered one of the most important works in the history of economics. In this book, Smith lays out his theories on the division of labor, the role of markets in allocating resources, and the benefits of free trade. The second section of the book contains Smith's essays on moral philosophy, which explore the nature of virtue, the foundations of justice, and the importance of sympathy and compassion in human relationships. These essays provide important insights into Smith's views on human nature and the role of ethics in society.The third section of the book contains Smith's writings on politics and government, including his influential essay on the ""invisible hand"" of the market, which argues that individual self-interest can lead to the greater good of society as a whole. Smith also discusses the proper role of government in regulating markets and providing public goods.Overall, The Works of Adam Smith V5 is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of economics, philosophy, or political thought. Smith's insights into the workings of markets, the nature of human society, and the role of government continue to influence scholars and policymakers to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
