An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations," Adam Smith deftly explores the foundations of economic theory, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of production, labor, and trade. Employing a luminous prose style that intertwines philosophical introspection with empirical observation, Smith navigates the complexities of a burgeoning capitalist society in the 18th century. His seminal work critiques mercantilism while advocating for free markets and the 'invisible hand' that guides economic self-interest towards collective benefit, solidifying the book's status as a cornerstone of classical economics. Adam Smith, often revered as the father of modern economics, was not only a philosopher but also a keen observer of human behavior, shaped by the Enlightenment ideals of his time. With a background in moral philosophy and an acute awareness of the socio-political currents of his era, Smith crafted this treatise to challenge prevailing economic doctrines and to illustrate the potential of individual initiative in fostering societal wealth. Readers seeking to comprehend the intricacies of economic principles and their historical evolution will find Smith's work indispensable. "Wealth of Nations" is not merely an economic manuscript; it is a profound discourse on human society that continues to resonate with contemporary debates on capitalism and ethics in economics.

Cancer - A Very Short...

Nick James

In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
 
 
 
Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
 
 
 
In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.
