Philosophy
The Wealth of Nations
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textAn economist explains, at very considerable length, why a country’s wealth comes from what it produces and trades rather than what gold it manages to hoard. Smith more or less invented the vocabulary an entire discipline still argues in. It is denser than most of this shelf, and more foundational than nearly all of it.
