Summary
The »Wealth of Nations« became a milestone in the history of economics. This edition provides a new translation by Monika Streissler. It is the only translation rendering the complete text as printed in the pioneering »Glasgow Edition« (1976 ff.) of the works of Adam Smith. In his introduction, the editor offers insights into Adam Smith's world of ideas and shows what is really revolutionary about the »Wealth of Nations« from today's scientific point of view.
