DESCRIPTION : 

The Wealth of Nations (full title: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations) is one of the most influential works in the history of economics. First published in 1776, this landmark book laid the foundation for modern economic theory and classical economics.

In this monumental work, Adam Smith examines how nations generate prosperity and how markets function. He introduces key concepts such as the division of labour, free markets, competition, and the famous idea of the “invisible hand” — the principle that individuals pursuing their own self-interest can unintentionally promote the economic well-being of society.
