The foundation for all modern economic thought and political economy, The Wealth of Nations is the magnum opus of Scottish economist Adam Smith, who introduces the world to the very idea of economics and capitalism in the modern sense of the words. Smith details his argument in five books:

Loved the Narrator
The writings herein is brought forth with great workmanship of speech. Recording was wonderful and enjoyable through all 5 books.
Amazingly accessible
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. I had thought the Smith had anticipated much of our current understanding of the way markets function. Instead, he had all of the fundamentals figured out. I was fearing that it would be quite obscure in topic and language, but found it pleasantly accessible, if perhaps a bit long.
As as reading the classics, I would definitely recommend this.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The market.
What about Gildart Jacksons performance did you like?
It fit the material.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The Way Your World Works
ADAM SMITH
The Wealth of Nations is often referred to but rarely read or listened to in the 21st century. Thirty Six hours of an audio book is punishing. However, one is surprised by Adam Smiths prescient understanding of the value of freedom and his appreciation of American and British conflict over American colonization. The Wealth of Nations is not only about economics. It is about politics as an essential ingredient of economics.
Visiting The Wealth of Nations is a worthwhile journey into history. One wondersIs there a 21st century Adam Smith in Americas future or is he/she pottering around Asia, Europe, the Middle East, or Africa and not yet recognized? Is there an alternative to free market capitalism that insures freedom and offers prosperity?
Simply a classic. Much better audio this time.
A couple of years ago, I purchased this title and really struggled with the quality of the audio. This newer edition is much better. As for the content, it is what it is. A classic that is the foundations to our current understanding of economics. It has great historical value but is not really an easy read. For me, its just something I had to get being an avid student in economics. I won't be giving a review of the subject matter since it is what it is and many have done much better that i could ever do. Just wanted to say this version has great audio!
Long but worth it
What did you love best about The Wealth of Nations?
After hearing about Adam Smith and he being quoted time and time again, I finally decided to give him a listen, because I knew that I would not have the time or dedication to make through the book. I had built up my listening stamina through the years i have had Audible and began the journey.
