"The Wealth of Nations" is a treasured classic of political economy. First published in March of 1776, Adam Smith wrote the book to influence a special audience - the British Parliament - and its arguments in the early spring of that year pressed for peace and cooperation with Britain's colonies rather than war. Smith's message was that economic exploitation, through the monopoly trade of empire, stifled wealth-creation in both home and foreign lands. Moreover, protectionism preserved the status quo, and privileged a few elites at the expense of long run growth. Smith wrote, 'It is the industry which is carried on for the benefit of the rich and the powerful that is principally encouraged by our mercantile system. That which is carried on for the benefit of the poor and the indigent is too often either neglected or oppressed.' This edition, based on the classic Cannan version of the text, includes a foreword by George Osborne MP and an introduction by Jonathan B. Wight, University of Richmond, which aims to place the work in a business context. Wight also provides an invaluable 'Notable Quotes' section where he extracts and categorises some of the most famous and pertinent sections of Smith's work. This classic work is as essential today as it was when it first written.
亚当·斯密(Adam Smith, 1723-1790)是经济学的主要创立者。他于1723年出生在苏格兰的克科底,青年时就读于牛津大学。1751年到1764年在格斯哥大学担任哲学教授。在此期间发表了他的第一部著作《道德情操论》,确立了他在知识界的威望。但是他的不朽名声主要在于他在1776年发表的伟大著作《国家财富的性质和原因的研究》。该书一举成功,使他在余生中享受着荣誉和爱戴。1790年,亚当·斯密在克科底去逝。他一生未娶,没有子女。
郭大力、王亚南翻译,北极星的电子书。 看得很累。亚当斯密的文字、逻辑极为清晰,累的原因是内容太多了。这本书的很多概念、观点到现在也在主流经济学中占据了显要的位置。所以人的头脑好像并没有随着时间而进化得更聪明,天才也就那些,倒是人们的工具都越来越多,越来...

评分每天晚上睡前读上几十页。这种平易近人的风格很适合阅读,可以让人平静下来。把经济学的理论解释的如此明白透彻,让人觉得如果再不能知晓其中的因果,简直就是笨得应该自我了断了。把书放下来,想一想这些年来读的书,学得理论,竟无一不是作者谈到过的。真是旷世奇才!现代经...
评分【按语:在阅读《国富论(1776)》之前,尚未来得及仔细阅读《道德情操论(1759)》,虽然知道后者是亚当·斯密(Adam Smith,1723-1790)的经济学和政治经济学的道德基础,因而只能暂时设定《道德情操论》与休谟《人性论》卷3中的道德理论是高度类似的:在休谟以同情原则来将...
