The Wealth of Nations
by Adam Smith
It is symbolic that Adam Smith’s masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence.
In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the workings of a market economy.
The result of Smith’s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.
"Adam Smith's enormous authority resides, in the end, in the same property that we discover in Marx: not in any ideology, but in an effort to see to the bottom of things."
--Robert L. Heilbroner

虽然这本书被说成是经济学的著作,但经济永远是和政治密不可分的。作者写这本书的时候,正处于美国独立战争爆发之前的紧张时刻,作者提出的方法如果能够得以实现,也许今日世界的版图会大不相同,而英国政府恰恰选择了目光短浅的作法,致使美国独立。亚当斯密认为:英国作为一...
评分翻译真心差,我没开玩笑 作为经济类本科生,实在没办法简单易懂地阅读这译本啊 比如这句“文明国家的殖民地土地荒芜、人口稀少”(page330 卷四 论殖民地)我看得云里雾里,因为文明国家的殖民地怎么会土地荒芜、人口稀少,印度作为大英帝国的生命线从来没听人说过“土地荒芜...
评分之所以加上“我认为”三字是因为我知道许多人对此会嗤之以鼻。但不管你们现在怎么看这个问题,这就是一个简单的事实。总有一天人类会承认。 事实无数次的向我们证明,如果一个体系需要不断的通过附加条件加以修补,那么就说明这个体系本身很可能就是错误的。当年的地心说理论...
