The Wealth of Nations (Adam Smith) - Mere Mortals Book Review

Published: May 3, 2020, 12:54 a.m.

This episode of the Mere Mortals book review covers 'The Wealth of Nations' by Adam Smith. This is a classic book of economics that lays out the general principles of wealth, particularly in relation to nations. It is a dense, long book to get through and has the old style of English language (it was first published in 1776), making it very difficult to read. I personally could only get through about 10% of the 570-something pages. A good book for those who want to read what would be one of the first groundbreaking books on economics, as long as you are prepared to grind away. As always, hope you enjoy!
