What on earth is this book doing in the Thrillers section. Original thinking?. Not likely.

Pages 81 to 128 of this book were missing and in their place were 50 pages of a completely different book. Clearly there has been a serious problem at the printer.

As a result you will not be able to read all of Book 1, Chapters 8 to 10.

The book itself is a fascinating read and is still relevant today, over 200 years since it was written.

It's hard to form opinions on economic matters when there are so many good and varied views out there about the our current woes. Smiths book gets to basic stuff, day to day trading that our life depends on. Many passages in this book jump out because of their current day resonance, even though they were written long ago. Although it might feel like an unfocused ramble through through a bygone era, the basic truths of supply and demand, the workings of monopolies and the wages of labour, the clarity and easy language used make it a refreshing read. Easy to dip in and out of, and always interesting no matter what page you open.

this book does not contain the whole chapters of the wealth of nation although i was shown that it contains the whole chapters. i wasted my money and hence i had to buy a new one. very bad.

Not only an influential book in its time, "The Wealth Of Nations" remains essential to understanding modern Economics.

Smith's ideas may not be expressed in an easy-to-read format (as another reviewer has commented) but the clarity of his thought is marvellous and the effort expended in making sense of this book will be well rewarded for anyone with an interest in the way that markets - and by implication society as a whole - work.
