Even after two centuries since its first publication in 1776, The wealth of Nations reamians as influential as it was demand before. Smith has elaborated on his thesis that it is human's natural inclination towards self-interest that leads to prosperity; they add to public interest through their everyday choices. This book gives an insight into the extensive assessment of the creation of a nation's wealth; it examines the division of labour, the orgin and use of money, the division of stock, the rise and progress of citiesand towns after the fall of the Roman empire, the systems of political economy and the taxes on various privater revenues.
