This carefully annotated selection features the main analysis of the operation of an economic system, the introductory chapter of the great attack on mercantilism, and portions of the analysis of the functions of the state-Books I, IV, and V. Edited by George J. Stigler, this useful volume includes an introduction and a bibliography.
I read this book for my liberal studies course at Western Washington. I found the selections to be interesting, and insightful. They were picked well, and although complicated subjects, they were presented in a way so that it was easy for the reader to grasp the concepts. If you are going to read Adam Smith, I strongly recommend this edition.
