The Wealth of Nations
国富论


 


经济学诞生的奠基之作

亚当·斯密的《国富论》,原名直译为《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》,是影响世界历史的十大著作之一 。经济学之父——亚当·斯密对政治经济学的基本问题做出了系统的研究,创立了一个完整的理论体系。 本书不仅是一本经济学的百科全书,内容还涉及政治、制度、教育、宗教、历史、哲学等。亚当·斯密不仅强调市场机制的无形力量,而且强烈反对在经济生活中腐败地使用政治权力。在市场经济的大变局中,你更加需要这部不朽的经典著作。

在亚当·斯密那里,政治经济学已经发展为某种整体。他对政治经济学的基本问题作出了系统的研究,创立了一个完整的理论体系,把古典政治经济学提高到了新的水平。 

——(德国)马克思 

不读《国富论》就不知道怎样才叫“利己”,读了《道德情操论》才知道“利他”是问心无愧的“利己”。 

——1976年诺贝尔经济学奖得主 (美国)弗里德曼 

此书对人类幸福的贡献超过了所有名垂青史的政治家和立法者的贡献的总和。 

——(英国)巴克勒

《国富论》经过五年写作、三年修改,于1776年正式与读者见面。当时正值资本主义发展初期,该书及时地总结了近代初期各国资本主义发展的经验,批判地吸收了当时的重要经济理论,提出了一套系统的经济学说。从作为国富基础的劳动,到提高劳动生产力的分工,再到分工带来的交换,交换带来的媒介——货币,再到商品的价格,以及构成价格的基本要素——工资、地租和利润,文中都有详细精辟的论述。该书反对政府干涉商业和自由市场,提倡降低关税和自由贸易,奠定了资本主义自由经济的理论基础。

It is symbolic that Adam Smith’s masterpiece of economic analysis,The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as theDeclaration of Independence.

In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy.The Wealth of Nationsprovided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated de*ion of the workings of a market economy.

The result of Smith’s efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.


亚当·斯密(Adam Smith, 1723-1790)是经济学的主要创立者。他于1723年出生在苏格兰。1751年到1764年在格斯哥大学担任哲学教授。在此期间发表了他的著作《道德情操论》,确立了他在知识界的威望。但是他的不朽名声主要在于他在1776年发表的伟大著作《国家财富的性质和原因的研究》。该书一举成功,使他在馀生中享受著荣誉和爱戴。

Adam Smith was born in a small village in Kirkcaldy, Scotland in 1723. He entered the University of Glasgow at age fourteen, and later attended Balliol College at Oxford. After lecturing for a period, he held several teaching positions at Glasgow University. His greatest achievement was writing The Wealth of Nations (1776), a five-book series that sought to expose the true causes of prosperity, and installed him as the father of contemporary economic thought. He died in Edinburgh on July 19, 1790.
