Excerpt from A Complete Analysis, or Abridgement, of Dr. Adam Smith's Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
The Editor conceives that it is unnecessary to offer any apology for laying before the public an Analysis or Abridgment of a work so universally and justly celebrated as "The Inquiry into the nature and causes of the Wealth of Nations."
Without attempting to justify every principle contained in the "Inquiry," it certainly merits the following eulogium passed upon it by one of Dr. Adam Smith's biographers: - "The variety, importance and novelty of the information which it contains; the skill and comprehensiveness of mind displayed in the arrangement; the admirable illustrations with which it abounds; together with the plainness and perspicuity which make it intelligible to all - render it unquestionably the most perfect work which has yet appeared on the general principles of any branch of legislation."
To those, then, who are engaged in the pursuit of political science, this compendium, if properly executed, cannot fail of being highly useful. It will also be found convenient as a text book in those institutions of liberal education in which the "Wealth of Nations" makes an essential branch of their lectures.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a groundbreaking analysis of the factors that influence the distribution of wealth in society, specifically focusing on the role of division of labor and its impact on the productive power of labor. The author argues that the division of labor is one of the main drivers of economic progress, enabling individuals to specialize in specific tasks and thereby increase their productivity. This increase in productivity leads to greater output and a lower cost of production, ultimately benefiting consumers and society as a whole. The book also explores the concept of the "natural" and "market" price of goods, and how the interaction between these prices determines the distribution of wealth. The author challenges traditional views on the role of labor in the economy, arguing that the value of labor is not simply determined by the cost of production but rather by the utility it provides to society. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of wealth distribution and the role of labor in economic growth. Its insights into the relationship between labor, productivity, and wealth provide a valuable framework for analyzing and addressing economic inequality.
