1896. Lectures delivered in the University of Glasgow by Smith who was the Scottish political economist and philosopher and who became famous for his influential book The Wealth of Nations. Contents of this volume are divided into the following Parts: Of Justice; Of Police; Of Arms; and Of the Laws of Nations.

In this work, often overshadowed by his seminal treatise 'The Wealth of Nations,' Adam Smith probes:The complex nature of human moralityThe inherent human capacity for empathyThe intricate interplay of passion and reason, andHow our moral thinking shapes our social lives, relationships, and societal structures. Smith proposes that our sense of morality arises from empathy rather than on a religious doctrine or abstract reasoning. In doing so, it provides a basis for understanding the moral underpinnings of economic behavior and sheds light on the social bonds that hold societies together. It also offers insights into issues of social justice, welfare, and how we should treat others.As a complement to "The Wealth of Nations," this book hasprofoundly impacted the current understanding of capitalism and morality, togetherwith societal structures and norms. Long considered a foundational text formoral philosophers and social scientists, Smith's book is still read widelytoday.

The Wealth of Nations offers one of the world's first connected accounts of what builds nations' wealth, and has become a fundamental work in classical economics.It influenced a number of authors and economists, as well as governments and organizations. Alexander Hamilton was influenced in part by The Wealth of Nations to write his Report on Manufactures, in which he argued against many of Smith's policies. Interestingly, Hamilton based much of this report on the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and it was, in part, Colbert's ideas that Smith responded to with The Wealth of Nations. Many other authors were influenced by the book and used it as a starting point in their own work, including Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus and, later, Ludwig von Mises.The Wealth of Nations was the product of seventeen years of notes and earlier studies, as well as an observation of conversation among economists of the time concerning economic and societal conditions during the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and it took Smith some ten years to produce. It provided the foundation for economists, politicians, mathematicians, and thinkers of all fields to build upon. Irrespective of historical influence, The Wealth of Nations represented a clear paradigm shift in the field of economics, comparable to what Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason was for philosophy.

On March 9, 1776, An inquiry into the nature and causes of national wealth - often referred to simply as National Wealth - was published for the first time. Smith, a Scottish, philosopher of ethics through marketing, wrote the book to explain the industrial power system that upsets the mercantilist system. Mercantilism emphasized that the economy was limited. The only way to be successful is to hoard gold and tax foreign trade. According to this theory, countries should sell their products to other countries without buying anything. Predictably, countries have entered into a form of reparative debt that has stifled international trade.This free market force that Adam Smith called the invisible hand needs support to work its magic. In particular, the market resulting from the increasing division of labor, both in the production process and in society in general, has created a system of dependence. These relationships promote the common good through individual profit motives.In other words, if you are a professional baker and only produce bread, you will depend on someone else for clothing, meat, and beer. In the meantime, the experts in clothing will depend on you for their bread and other things. Economic growth occurs when people want goods and services that they cannot produce themselves.
