Random House USA Inc Wealth of Nations Vintage Classics
Book SynopsisThe first--and still the most eloquent--expression of the economic theories of capitalism.Published in 1776, in the same year as the Declaration of Independence, The Wealth of Nations has had a similarly significant impact on the course of modern history. Adam Smith's celebrated defense of free market economies was written with such expressive power and clarity that the first edition sold out in six months. While its most remarkable and enduring innovation was to see the whole of economic life as a unified system, it is notable also as one of the Enlightenment's most eloquent testaments to the sanctity of the individual in his relation to the state. This edition contains in one volume the most influential first four books of Smith's masterwork.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Political Economy
Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking introduction to economics exposes readers to the workings of the market in a democratic state. The text explains basic economic concepts from a political perspective.Trade Review"The field of political economy has made a full comeback into the center of economic analysis. Dan Usher's very readable text demonstrates the power of political economy analysis to address questions in welfare economics, political behavior, public administration, and legal arrangements. His conclusion, like that of the great political economists from David Hume and Adam Smith to F. A. Hayek and James Buchanan is that a market economy with private ownership in the means of production, a political system based on majority-rule voting, a rule-bound public administration, and an independent judiciary are the mutually reinforcing ingredients to a good society. Usher's text is a welcomed addition to literature in modern political economy." Peter J. Boettke, George Mason UniversityTable of ContentsList of Figures. List of Tables. Preface. 1.
