The Wealth of Nations Description
[Library Edition Audiobook CD in sturdy Vinyl case.]
[Read by Michael Edwards]
First published in 1776, this work is the classic statement of economic liberalism or the policy of laissez-faire. Several fundamental principles or ''axioms'' were introduced in this work, including the division of labor, supply-and-demand, and free market capitalism as some of the most obvious. Smith's political economy is primarily individualistic: self-interest is the incentive for economic action. However, he shows that universal pursuit of self-interest contributes to the public interest, a concept probably best encapsulated by John F. Kennedy when he remarked, ''a rising tide raises all boats.''
