NOTES
The Wealth of Nations is a clearly written account of economics at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. The work was a landmark work in the history and economics, as it was comprehensive and an accurate characterization of the economic mechanisms at work in modern economics. The book includes Smith's assessment of the mercantile system, his advocacy of the freedom of commerce and industry, and his famous prophecy that "America will be one of the foremost nations of the world"
