编辑评论
国民财富的是一种珍贵的古典政治经济学，首次公布的1776年3月，在这年春天亚当斯密写这本书直接影响到一个特别的阶层，英国议会和他们的观点，就是对待英国的殖民地应该采取和平与合作，而不是战争。史密斯的观点是通过帝国的垄断贸易和经济剥削，在本国和外国的土地上窒息了财富的创造。保护主义的保存现状，少数精英的特权，并且以牺牲长远来看增长，史密斯写道，“这是产业之间进行的利益，富国和强国主要是鼓励我们的商业系统。这样做有利于穷人不然穷人往往要么被忽视或受压迫。”

这个版本在经典的经济学家坎南(e.cannan)版本基础上，对著作中的语境进行了较好的调整，该书包括前言和乔治奥斯本议员对里士满大学的强纳森·怀特介绍，怀特还提供了一个宝贵的'重要的名言摘录'一节，他对史密斯的工作和论著进行了有效地提炼并将它们归纳到非常显著的章节之中，为了这本书能够成功的出版和面世，这项典型的工作是必不可少的。
Editorial Reviews
The Wealth of Nations is a treasured classic of political economy. First published in March of 1776, Adam Smith wrote the book to influence a special audience - the British Parliament - and its arguments in the early spring of that year pressed for peace and cooperation with Britain's colonies rather than war. Smith's message was that economic exploitation, through the monopoly trade of empire, stifled wealth-creation in both home and foreign lands. Moreover, protectionism preserved the status quo, and privileged a few elites at the expense of long run growth. Smith wrote, "It is the industry which is carried on for the benefit of the rich and the powerful that is principally encouraged by our mercantile system. That which is carried on for the benefit of the poor and the indigent is too often either neglected or oppressed."
