Access An Inquiry Into The Nature And Causes Of The Wealth Of Nations Author Adam Smith Audio Books

این کتاب به طور بسیار خلاصه با چند تا از تئوریهای اقتصادی مهم آدام اسمیت آشنا میشوید. اهمیت آن در این است که به ادعای مترجم بخشهایی از کتاب ثروت ملل ترجمه شده که قبلا ترجمه نشده بود. Oh this book was such a tiresome read that I finishedother books before completing this one,

Started to take toll on me with so much unnecessary explanations which made no sense, Sometimes cringe worthy!

Adam Smith was one of the few individuals who wanted the economic cycle to run itself, Hence he was in full support of market setting the momentum, But can we give such liberty to markets With inflation, resources cramped within few hands and power

politics his notion have failed to a large extend in todays world.
As the richer are getting rich with each day whereas the poor are left on their mercy which never comes,

Nonetheless this book gave certain valuable parameters which can be used and revised to make things better, According to him abundance or scantiness depend upon two circumstances:

, By skill, dexterity and judgement with which its labour is applied
, By the proportion between the employer and unemployed

Wages, rent and profit are the three original sources of all revenues and exchangeable value, Altogether there areclasses who contribute towards the annual produce of the land and labour:

, The proprietors of land
, Cultivators, farmers and country labourers who are honoured with the peculiar appellation of the productive class
, Class of artificers, manufactures and merchants who endeavour to degrade by the humiliating appellation of the barren or unproductive class

The sovereign as in the state has only three duties to attend to:
.
The duty of protecting the society from violence and invasion of other independent societies
, The duty of protecting every member of the society from injustice or oppression by every other member of it
, The duty of erecting and maintaining certain public works and institutions

Though Smith kept condemning the Mercantile System but his free markets have led to the very anarchy which even mercantilist couldnt bring in the world.

Written in clear and incisive prose, The Wealth of Nations articulates the concepts indispensable to an understanding of contemporary society and Robert Reich's Introduction both clarifies Smith's analyses and illuminates his overall relevance to the world in which we live.
As Reich writes, "Smith's mind ranged over issues as fresh and topical today as they were in the late eighteenth centuryjobs, wages, politics, government, trade, education, business, and ethics.
"



Introduction by Robert Reich Commentary by R, H. Campbell and A. S. Skinner Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide,stars. I read this on my own in law school, I know, I know, who does that right Well I obtained this as part of my Easton Press colleciton of "Books That Changed the World, " I remember being really intrigued by the book and it made me more interested in the history of economics, Adam Smiths “An Inquiry Into The Nature And Causes Of The Wealth Of Nations” often called simply “The Wealth Of Nations” is one of two great works from the Scottish economist and philosopher, the other being the lesser known “The Theory of Moral Sentiments”.
“The Wealth Of Nations” was published on Marchth, of, but there were additional editions in,,, and, I read the free Kindle version of “The Wealth Of Nations”, and while I do not recommend that version I do recommend the overall work,

The issues with the Kindle version are that it is poorly formatted, and it is painful to attempt to read the numbers in the tables at the of Book I.
You are much better off getting a hard copy so that you can more easily flip to the section of interest, and to read the information in a better format.
As for the rest, the content is all there, once you get past the poor formatting,

The work contains five books within, The first is “Of the Causes of Improvement in the productive Powers of Labour”, In this book he discusses the benefits of the division of labor, the origin and benefits of using money, a section on the “real” price of commodities i.
e. how much toil it takes to produce them, a discussion of the natural and market prices of commodities the forces of supply and demand, the effect of controlling a commodity can have on the price, the wages of labor again a case of supply and demand with the commodity of labor, the profits of stock, a discussion of the ill effects of groups who use their influence to manipulate the government this would include banking conglomerations, trade unions, etc.
, and closes with a section on rent,

The second book is “Of the Nature, Accumulation, and Employment of Stock” which deals with accumulating wealth which lasts a longer period of time, This book starts with how one divides their stock into what they need for personal use, and what they can dispose of in exchange for others available stock.
He then moves into a discussion of money as a type of stock, and then how to use their excess money/stock to gain interest,

The third book is “Of the different Progress of Opulence in different Nations”, where he talks about the balance between the inhabitants of towns and those of the country areas and goes into how agriculture is discouraged over time, while cities and towns prosper.


The fourth book is “Of Systems of political Economy” in which Smith discusses the commercial system, along with importation which contains a detailed look at the effects of restraints on importation/exportation.
Smith also discusses commerce treaties, and the role of colonies, This book also has a brief section on the agricultural system, but here he is referring to a specific system where the produce of land is the sole source of the revenue of a nation

The fifth book is “Of the Revenue of the Sovereign or Commonwealth” in which Smith deals with taxation.
This is an important area to read and understand, as it is the one which many ignore when using Smith to try to support other areas, There are hints here of the progressive tax, as well as a discussion of the expenses of the nation, an important acknowledgement that the poor spend the greater part of their income on the fundamentals, such as food, and so he suggests luxury taxes as not unreasonable.
Smith then closes the final book with a discussion of the costs of war, both for the actual fighting, and in terms of the loss of trade,
کتاب تعداد صفحاتش زیاده و شاید به صرفه نباشه که بخونیدش ولی اگه بخوام بگم آدام اسمیت عمرش رو صرف نوشتن این کتاب کرده ازدواج نکرده و استاد دانشگاه بوده انگار کتابی که پدر علم اقتصاد نوشته باعث به وجود آوردن لیبرالیسم شده است

این از دلسوزی قصاب آشپز یا نانوا نیست که شام خود را توقع داریم بلکه از توجه آنان به نفع شخصی خودشان است. توجه ما به خود ماست نه به انسان دوستی آنان بلکه به خودخواهی آنان و هرگز با آنان دربارهی نیازهای ضروری خود نمی گوییم بلکه از مزیت های آنان سخن می گوییم


کتاب پر از تاریخ و عدد است و خیلی کند جلو می رود خیلی سنگین است و مثل دایره المعارف است. اسمیت می گوید بازتاب زیبایی بازار این است که خود حافظ خود است و بازار که اوج آزادی اقتصادی فرد است سخت گیرترین تمام کارفرماهاست.

به نظر من هر کسی میخواهد ثروتمند شود باید این کتاب را بخواند حالا این که تعداد صفحاتش زیاده بهتون پیشنهاد میدم که به جای این کهکتابش رو بخونیدکتاب اول را بخوانید که به فارسی هم ترجمه شده است به نظر من جز باید های مطالعاتی است. در زیر لینک دانلودکتاب اول ثروت ملل رو میارم
