The Wealth of Nations, Books IV-V (Penguin Classics) Review: Adam Smith Was a Man of Principle - One tiny complaint, but not enough to give it four stars. A magnifying glass is needed to read the print in this book so be forewarned. Other than that, I am proud to add this classic to my home library. I am reading the book & becoming familiar with Adam Smith and his ideas on capitalism. We are having some lively discussions about capitalism in our extended family since we are all of varying political persuasions. It has turned out that one of our ancestors, many generations back, may have influenced or possibly inspired the writings of Adam Smith. It has caused us to dig more deeply into those writings and to look more closely at the historical underpinnings. One wonders what Adam Smith would think of today's capitalism. He believed there were limits to capitalism and at times some regulation was needed. He did not believe in monopolies. Apparently, unlike the more modern writer, Ayn Rand, he was a man of principle. Review: Simple presentation. - Good edition. No frills

Adam Smith Was a Man of Principle
One tiny complaint, but not enough to give it four stars. A magnifying glass is needed to read the print in this book so be forewarned.

Meets expectations
Good introductory sections. Helpful in establishing historical context. Professionally rendered. Intense and dense material, but appropriate for the topic. Glad I bought it. My first reading of Adam Smith, so I cannot compare to other editions.

Les livres n’étaient pas dans un état neuf, tous deux écornés et la couverture abîmée

This is a classic and a reference for every economy-minded executive.

Seminal work which arguably created the art of economics. And it is an art..
