But, as Andrew Skinner reveals in his introduction to this edition, the real sophistication of "The Wealth of Nations" lies less in individual areas of economic analysis than in its overall picture of a vast analytical system--a capitalist economy--in which all the parts can be seen simultaneously interacting with each other. In addition, Smith's view of society was not merely an economic one. "The Wealth of Nations" is far from being an apologia for unregulated business enterprise: Smith was at pains to point out that economic advance can have undesirable social consequences, and that labour which is economically unproductive can be beneficial to society at large.

亚当·斯密，哲学家，经济学家，是经济学的创立者。1773年，《国富论》完成编纂后，亚当·斯密花了三年时间润色此书，1776年3月此书出版后引起大众广泛的讨论，影响所及除了英国本地，连欧洲大陆和美洲也为之疯狂，因此世人尊称亚当·斯密为“现代经济学之父”和“自由企业的守护神”。

Adam Smithwas a Scottish moral philosopher, pioneer of political economy, and a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. His classic work, “The Wealth of Nations”, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. Smith is cited as the father of modern economics and is still among the most influential thinkers in the field of economics today.
