Sobre este artículo
Book shows wear as might be expected after over 125 years. The cover is two-toned tan and blue fabric, with gilt print and decoration on the front and spine. The fabric over the spine is shiny and unworn (seems to have some kind of coating) while it is dull and pitted on the front and rear. There is some wear at the corners and the head and tail of the spine as well. A hinge split in front has resulted in the free endpaper to the half-title page coming loose (3 sheets). The next packet of six sheets is flirting with the idea of declaring it's freedom as well. A split in the rear endpaper is much less severe, with nothing loose at this time. The remaining pages are clean, tight and unmarked. There is no publication date within the book, but the original owner was kind enough to sign and date the title page (see photos). Originally published in 1776 in two volumes, this edition houses all five books in a single book. This is a rather rare book.
Sinopsis
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (generally referred to by the short title The Wealth of Nations) is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist Adam Smith. It is a clearly written account of economics at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, as well as a rhetorical piece written for the generally educated individual of the 18th century - advocating a free market economy as more productive and more beneficial to society.
