The Wealth of Nations 2 vol set by Adam Smith

CONDITION: The books are NEW and in shrink wrap, just have a few minor flaws, such as minor fading/scratches to the gilded page edges and small imperfections to the endpaper.

Although regarded as the first scientific treatise on economics, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations should be viewed in a larger context. The social philosopher, historian, moralist, and political scientist, Adam Smith, attempted to create in this great work a synthesis of ideas that would in essence be a study of political and social evolution. First published in 1776 and a continuing influence worldwide, it is the crowning achievement of one of the leading figures of the Scottish Enlightenment.
