Samenvatting

Now available in paperback, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, the book that created the field of economics, is transformed into a page-turner of global significance by America's sharpest political commentator writing in English today.

'P J O'Rourke has done the hard work for you by taking the 900-page masterpiece and compressing its ideas into a little over 200 breezy pages... His wit can be razor sharp. Alex Moffatt, Irish Times

Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations was first published in 1776 and was almost instantly recognized as fundamental to an understanding of economics. It was also recognized as being really long; and as P. J. O'Rourke points out, to fully understand The Wealth of Nations, the cornerstone of free-market thinking and a book that shapes the world to this day, you also need to be familiar with Smith's earlier doorstopper, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. But now you don't have to read either, because P. J. has done it for you.

In this brilliant and indispensable book P. J. O'Rourke shows us why Smith is still relevant and why what seems obvious now was once so revolutionary.

'Consistently funny, with cracking asides... O'Rourke is a glittering writer, light but punchy, wry and impassioned, witheringly witty one moment and rambunctiously sarcastic the next.' Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday

'Sophisticated and comprehensive... For those without the stomach to read the real thing, P. J. O'Rourke's book will provide an unusually enjoyable starting point.' Allister Heath, Literary Review
