The Wealth of Nationswas a treatise which sought to offer a practical application for reformed economic theory to replace the mercantilist and physiocratic economic theories that were becoming less relevant in the time of industrial progress and innovation. It provided the foundation for new economists, politicians, mathematicians, biologists, and thinkers of all fields to build upon.
Media and Celebrity Reviews：
“What you say of Mr. Gibbon’s and Dr. Smith’s book is exactly just. The former is the most popular work; but the sale of the latter, though not near so rapid, has been more than I could have expected from a work that requires much thought and reflection (qualities that do not abound among modern readers) to peruse to any purpose”.—William Strahan
“There was a maxim laid down in an excellent book upon the Wealth of Nations which had been ridiculed for its simplicity, but which was indisputable as to its truth. In that book it was stated that the only way to become rich was to manage matters so as to make one’s income exceed one’s expenses.”—Charles James Fox
“It is astonishing to consider, how few merchants are acquainted with Smith’s Wealth of Nations, or Anderson’s History of Commerce, which are certainly books that should be perused by every man who makes trade his pursuit”.—The Times
The Wealth of Nations《国富论》总结了近代初期各国资本主义发展的经验，并在批判吸收了当时有关重要经济理论的基础上，就整个国民经济运动过程作了较系统、明白的描述，全面解读了财富增长的根源。该书出版以后，对英国以及全世界资本主义的发展，直接产生了重大的促进作用。一度被当时资产阶级学者奉为至宝。
First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world’s first collected descriptions of what builds nations’ wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets.
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 Smith was 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.
