1814 Wealth of Nations Adam Smith Economics Industrial Revolution Capitalism 4v
"Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog."
― Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
An early 19th-century edition of the famous "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith. "Wealth of Nations" was one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds a nations' economy, wealth, and capitalism. Smith begins this landmark work by stating that the source of a nation's wealth comes from the labor of the people. Throughout the rest of the work, Smith shows how productivity and financial exchanges are the root of a working economy.
This rare 1814 four volume edition was published in Edinburgh in three volumes with an additional volume by Buchanan on his 'Observations on the subjects treated of in Dr. Smith's Inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations.'
