The Wealth of Nations (An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations) is a book by Adam Smith, first published in 1776. This foundational work in classical economics lays out the principles of free markets, division of labor, and the invisible hand that guides economic prosperity. Written during the Scottish Enlightenment, it explores the nature of wealth, production, and trade, profoundly influencing economic thought and policy. Smith’s insights remain as relevant today as they were over two centuries ago, offering timeless wisdom on the workings of economies and the role of individuals within them.
