Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, originally translated as "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations", has shocked the academic world since its publication in 1776. Even the rulers of various countries have taken it as their guiding principle. Every economist, big or small, in the world has been directly or indirectly influenced by it. Those who praise it to the point of no further praise, even those who claim to be Smith's followers, will take out a few chapters and sentences from it to criticize; on the contrary, those who criticize it to the point of no further criticism, even those who openly oppose Smithism, have all adopted a few opinions from it as their fundamental thoughts.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Adam Smith (1723-1790) is one of the main founders of Western economics. Born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, he studied at Oxford University when he was young. From 1751 to 1764, he served as a professor of philosophy at the University of Glasgow and published his first book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, which established his high prestige in the academic world. In 1776, his The Wealth of Nations caused a great sensation around the world and was hailed as the founding work of bourgeois political economics. He dedicated a cow to his beloved academic research, never married, and had no children.
