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。
The Wealth of Nations
by Adam Smith
It is symbolic that Adam Smith’s masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence.
In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the workings of a market economy.
The result of Smith’s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.
"Adam Smith's enormous authority resides, in the end, in the same property that we discover in Marx: not in any ideology, but in an effort to see to the bottom of things."
--Robert L. Heilbroner

评分very simple and confident the way adam wrote the book. these are the principles that he had found out and had been following during his daily administrative works and he thought understanding these things could help his decision making process while increasing the efficiency of his works since he would be able to persuade others to do the things the way he wanted it. he would be successful in achieving his objectives as long as the opinions or principles are hard to prove either right or wrong by people related to his decisions, or in other words, he knew what all the others related are thinking and based on that, he proposed the ruling principle. we use the same techniques in our daily life, and we need to adjust that basic principle of ours with the surrounding knowledge level or scale people possess. at first the level was mostly in terms of physical power while later it takes in the intellectual part.
评分这本是英文原版的经济学经典,对经济学有兴趣的话这本书应该是必看的,只不过能不能看完那1208页就是另一回事了。看过这本再看资本论应该会更容易理解马克思的想法吧?
