On The Wealth of Nations

Previous owner's inscription. Underlining and marginalia on a few pages. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; First printing. (xiv), 242 pages. Ochre boards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 196 x 123mm. A book on Adam Smith's 1776 "The Wealth of Nations". "In this hilarious and insightful examination of Smith and his groundbreaking work, which even intellectuals should have no trouble comprehending, P.J. puts his wit and his wits to good use. He shows us why Smith is still relevant, why what seems obvious now was once revolutionary, and how the division of labor, freedom of trade, and pursuit of self-interest espoused by Smith are not only vital to the welfare of mankind, they're funny too." - from dust-jacket blurb.
