The Patriot's Edition Includes Five Books and an Extensive Appendix
to the Articles. Adam Smith was born in a small Scottish village in
1723 and was raised by his widowed mother. He was college educated
in England and was made Chair of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow
University in 1752. Twelve years later, Smith decided to leave the
world of academia to tutor the young duke of Buccleuch. For the
next two years, they traveled throughout Switzerland and France,
meeting the likes of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Francois Quesnay and
Voltaire during their travels. Due to Smith's service to the duke,
Smith was granted a life pension and he returned home to his small
Scottish village of Kirkcaldy to write The Wealth of Nations. The
book was published the same year as the American Declaration of
Independence, 1776. Smith's work remains as popular as ever with
his explanation of how rational self-interest in a free-market
economy leads to economic well-being. Adam Smith became one of the
leading expositors of economic thought, with currents of his
thoughts seen in works by Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes and Milton
Friedman. (Timeless Classic Books)
