- The Wealth of Nations (Everyman's Library)

One tiny complaint, but not enough to give it four stars. A magnifying glass is needed to read the print in this book so be forewarned. Other than that, I am proud to add this classic to my home library. I am reading the book & becoming familiar with Adam Smith and his ideas on capitalism. We are having some lively discussions about capitalism in our extended family since we are all of varying political persuasions. It has turned out that one of our ancestors, many generations back, may have influenced or possibly inspired the writings of Adam Smith. It has caused us to dig more deeply into those writings and to look more closely at the historical underpinnings. One wonders what Adam Smith would think of today's capitalism. He believed there were limits to capitalism and at times some regulation was needed. He did not believe in monopolies. Apparently, unlike the more modern writer, Ayn Rand, he was a man of principle.

Good introductory sections. Helpful in establishing historical context. Professionally rendered. Intense and dense material, but appropriate for the topic. Glad I bought it. My first reading of Adam Smith, so I cannot compare to other editions.

Good edition. No frills

One of the better editions printed on high quality paper.

wow, just excellent

The book appears to be in mint condition.I am highly pleased.

No issues

High quality book cover and binding. Eager to read.

A great follow-up to the earlier books giving an over-view of global economics. Apart from its intrinsic value it was written at an interesting point in history and any knowledge of background events gives it another dimension. Both this and the earlier books should be required reading for anyone studying the subject.

The only education one needs

I received this item today, and on inspection of it, am pleased with the product! Thanks.
