Smith did not write an economics textbook, but rather a panoramic narrative about the struggle for individual liberty and general prosperity in history. This edition includes generous selections from all five books of \u003cem\u003eThe Wealth of Nations\u003c\/em\u003e. It also provides full notes and a commentary that places Smith's work within a rich interdisciplinary context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e For over 100 years\u003cstrong\u003e Oxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
