The Wealth of Nations - Classic Illustrated Edition
Product ID: 118238013
* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, The Wealth of Nations is one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. * Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published, this is one of the great works of economic literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world. * This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is enhanced with images of classic works of art carefully selected by our team of professional editors. Review: Marc Ellison's Review of The Wealth of Nations - The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith is the economic principles of freedom. This is the economic principles that our Founding Fathers' followed to make the USA one of the wealthiest nations in the history of the world. Unfortunately, Keynesian economics theories have replaced freedom-loving economic policies that have lead to the USA's economic downfall. The Wealth of Nations will teach the economic principles that need to be reinstated in order to make the USA great again. Review: Warning for buyers of the Kindle version - I don't need to point out that "The Wealth of Nations" (TWON) is a landmark work in economics. However, if you're looking for a Kindle version of TWON, be aware that this book (the Penguin edition on Kindle) contains ONLY Books IV and V of TWON. Penguin published Books I-III separately, and for some reason that volume is not yet available in a Kindle format. (At least, I couldn't find it as of Jan. 11, 2009.) I would therefore suggest trying another publisher until Penguin makes all of TWON available in Kindle format.

Should be required.
Prescient is all I can say about Smith.Whether or not you agree with his treatise his foresight is undeniable.The book needs to required reading, and not just the beginning but the whole thing in order to be sure of his intended meaning.It is a bit like mining, though.The language is not the easiest to work through but it is worth it.

A must read for anyone who wants to understand how the capitalist system works
the basis of our capitalist system. Or, at least , the first coherent attempt to to explain the mechanism by which our system works.

Dull and dreary reading, but great info and data with the background to back it up!
Great study if you really want to know about how money works and why governments go out of their way to steal it from you.

Disappointing printing of Wealth of Nations
I was glad to find such an inexpensive copy of this book, but reading it has been frustrating due to the fact that practically every page of the book is rife with typographical errors. It was printed in the US, but apparently by people for whom English is not a primary language. I would recommend paying a little more for something that was actually proofread.
