Synopsis

A Complete Analysis or Abridgment of Dr. Adam Smith's Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is a book written by Adam Smith himself and published in 1804. It is a comprehensive summary of Smith's seminal work, The Wealth of Nations, which was first published in 1776. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic principles and theories that Smith espoused in his original work, including his ideas on the division of labor, the role of government in economic affairs, and the concept of the ""invisible hand"" guiding market forces. The abridgment also includes Smith's views on international trade, taxation, and the importance of free markets in promoting economic growth and development. The book is a valuable resource for students of economics and anyone interested in understanding the foundations of modern economic theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Adam Smith was born in a small village in Kirkcaldy, Scotland in 1723. He entered the University of Glasgow at age fourteen, and later attended Balliol College at Oxford. After lecturing for a period, he held several teaching positions at Glasgow University. His greatest achievement was writing The Wealth of Nations (1776), a five-book series that sought to expose the true causes of prosperity, and installed him as the father of contemporary economic thought. He died in Edinburgh on July 19, 1790.
