The foundation for all modern economic thought and political economy, "The Wealth of Nations" is the magnum opus of Scottish economist Adam Smith, who introduces the world to the very idea of economics and capitalism in the modern sense of the words. Smith details his argument in the following five books: Book I. Of the Causes of Improvement in the productive Power of Labour, Book II. Of the Nature, Accumulation, and Employment of Stock Introduction, Book III. Of the Different Progress of Opulence in Different Nations, Book IV. Of Systems of Political Economy, and Book V. Of the Revenue of the Sovereign or Commonwealth; which taken together form a giant leap forward in the field of economics. A product of the "Age of Enlightenment," "The Wealth of Nations" is a must read for all who wish to gain a better understanding of the principles upon which all modern capitalistic economies have been founded and the process of wealth creation that is engendered by those principles.
亚当·斯密(Adam Smith, 1723-1790)是经济学的主要创立者。他于1723年出生在苏格兰的克科底,青年时就读于牛津大学。1751年到1764年在格斯哥大学担任哲学教授。在此期间发表了他的第一部著作《道德情操论》,确立了他在知识界的威望。但是他的不朽名声主要在于他在1776年发表的伟大著作《国家财富的性质和原因的研究》。该书一举成功,使他在余生中享受着荣誉和爱戴。1790年,亚当·斯密在克科底去逝。他一生未娶,没有子女。
【按语:在阅读《国富论(1776)》之前,尚未来得及仔细阅读《道德情操论(1759)》,虽然知道后者是亚当·斯密(Adam Smith,1723-1790)的经济学和政治经济学的道德基础,因而只能暂时设定《道德情操论》与休谟《人性论》卷3中的道德理论是高度类似的:在休谟以同情原则来将...
评分斯密论分工 狄更斯在《双城记》的开头这样描述十九世纪的英国“这是最好的时代,这是最坏的时代。”而事实上十九世纪是一个资本的时代。源于英国的工业革命席卷了全球,带来第一波世界性的产业革命,财富与生产力双双向前,资本主义从此取得了历史的胜利。正当其时,脱胎于...
评分大学时候,迷上了经济学,其实在高中就喜欢政治,历史。不过直到接触到经济学之后,才发现,原来社会竟然能够被分析的这样淋漓透彻。 大学期间,读了很多的经济学的著作,不过开始的时候都是读最近期的,可是近期的著作数学用的越来越高深,我虽然学的是工科,可是大学的时候...

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...
Everybody talks about it, few have actually read it. Many of Smith’s concerns about his own theory are still quite relevant today.
