Description
““It is the great multiplication of the productions of all the different arts, in consequence of the division of labour, which occasions, in a well-governed society, that universal opulence which extends itself to the lowest ranks of the people.”
The Wealth of Nations is according to many the foundational text of the discipline of economics, marking a turning point from earlier political philosophy to economics as we know it today. Written by Adam Smith in the late 18th century, his study develops concepts which have since become cornerstones of economic thought such as division of labour, productivity, return on investment, free markets and professions, and more.
Our edition features a section on Adam Smith, including an extensive biographical essay illuminating the course of his life. The book comes in 170x240mm format with hard cover, black and gold details featuring stunning artworks by the Finnish artist Ville Andersson, designed by Piëtke Visser in Helsinki.”
