The Wealth of Nations
By Adam Smith
In 1776, when the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed, Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations to advocate free trade and a new way to look at economics. Although his writing has been touted as “simple” and easy to read, the Bantam edition offers margins, packed with brief summaries of Smith’s ideas. Smith believed a worker’s productivity increased with the availability of public funded education. It is essential for every business owner to know how the market economy works, so his business can prosper in it.
