Published in the same year as the Declaration of Independence of the United States, the work laid the foundations of thought for economists, politicians, mathematicians, biologists, and thinkers in all fields. "The Wealth of Nations" represented a clear paradigm shift in the field of economics, comparable to Charles Darwin''s work on the origin of species for biology.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeThe natural price occupies a central place in the understanding of Adam Smith''s theory of value. This theory is a fundamental element for the analysis of the commercial society carried out by this author. A society based on exchanges of surplus production requires the existence of a common language and an equivalence between the objects to be exchanged. All members of this society live off the exchange and, to this extent, all are considered merchants. Each of them lives the experience of exchange, the experience of value. This experience goes through the nominal prices expressed in monetary terms. However, these prices, due to their contingent nature, cannot be the object of a dynamic study aimed at founding a theory of economic growth. Consequently, Smith uses real prices, prices in terms of working time. This price refers to a universal unit of measurement that allows apprehension of the magnitude of the value. It expresses a commanded work or the "penalties and fatigue saved to the one who buys the merchandise".Accordingly, Smith analyzes market prices and natural prices in real terms. The market price is a momentary price, the result of the confrontation between effective supply and demand, while the natural price is a price that allows the reproduction of the economic system. And it is precisely in the relationship that exists between these two prices, that is, in the theory of gravitation, where the natural price acquires all its relevance:

A Bible for Students of Economics STUDENT EDITION - COMPLETE An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith COMPLETE EDITION CLASSICAL ECONOMICS Top 100 Books - Economics Adam Smith''s masterpiece, first published in 1776, is the foundation of modern economic thought and remains the single most important account of the rise of, and the principles behind, modern capitalism. Written in clear and incisive prose, The Wealth of Nations articulates the concepts indispensable to an understanding of contemporary society. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world''s first collected descriptions of what builds nations'' wealth and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labor, productivity, and free markets. The Wealth of Nations was published 9 March 1776, during the Scottish Enlightenment and the Scottish Agricultural Revolution.[1] It influenced a number of authors and economists, as well as governments and organizations. For example, Alexander Hamilton was influenced in part by The Wealth of Nations to write his Report on Manufactures, in which he argued against many of Smith''s policies. Interestingly, Hamilton based much of this report on the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and it was, in part, Colbert''s ideas that Smith responded to with The Wealth of Nations. Many other authors were influenced by the book and used it as a starting point in their own work, including Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus and, later, Ludwig von Mises. The Russian national poet Aleksandr Pushkin refers to The Wealth of Nations in his 1833 verse-novel Eugene Onegin. The Wealth of Nations was the product of seventeen years of notes, and observation of conversation among economists of the time concerning economic and societal conditions during the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and took Smith ten years to produce. The result, An Inquiry to the Wealth of Nations, was a treatise which sought to offer a practical application for reformed economic theory to replace the mercantilist and physiocratic economic theories that were becoming less relevant in the time of industrial progress and innovation. It provided the foundation for new economists, politicians, mathematicians, biologists, and thinkers of all fields to build upon. Irrespective of historical influence, The Wealth of Nations represented a clear shift in the field of economics, comparable to Sir Isaac Newton''s Principia Mathematica for physics, Antoine Lavoisier''s Traité Élémentaire de Chimie for chemistry, or Charles Darwin''s On the Origin of Species for biology.
