While it has been pointed to time and again by governments and
pundits promoting laissez-faire economics, the Wealth of Nations
actually shows that Adam Smith viewed capitalism with a deep
suspicion, and tempered his celebration of a self-regulating market
with a darker vision of the dehumanizing potential of a
profit-oriented society. Smith did not write an economics textbook,
but rather a panoramic narrative about the struggle for individual
liberty and general prosperity in history. This edition includes
generous selections from all five books of the Wealth of Nations.
It also provides full notes and a commentary that places Smith's
work within a rich interdisciplinary context.
