Im thinking on picking up Adam Smiths
The Wealth of Nations..

Check if it's the full text. I know modern library offers the unabridged version for about $15.

>>7998816
this version has 688 pages
the unabridged version has around 1,100 pages?
>>
>>7998828
Shit man, how do you fill that many pages with 'specialisation is efficient'?
>>
>>7998792
I don't know if it's really worth it. It's literally 1,100 pages of "don't interfere with the natural workings of an economy" and "the invisible hand of competition will drive the economy". Profound at a time when mercantilism was still the dominant economic system, but it's been surpassed by modern economics.
