An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, first edition

Senior specialist Adam Douglas presents this first edition of The Wealth of Nations.

This two volume edition is “the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought” (PMM), this is an excellent copy in a handsome and unrestored contemporary binding.

“The Wealth of Nations had no rival in scope or depth when published and is still one of the few works in its field to have achieved classic status, meaning simply that it has sustained yet survived repeated reading, critical and adulatory, long after the circumstances which prompted it have become the object of historical enquiry” (ODNB).
