The Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In *The Wealth of Nations*, Adam Smith delves into the intricacies of economic theory, exploring the principles of free markets, the division of labor, and the invisible hand that guides self-interest towards societal benefit. Written in 1776, Smith's prose is both accessible and erudite, blending philosophical discourse with rigorous economic analysis. Situating his work within the Enlightenment context, Smith responds to the mercantilist doctrines of his time, advocating for a laissez-faire approach that elucidates the dynamics of commerce and trade while challenging contemporary economic practices. Adam Smith, often heralded as the father of modern economics, was influenced by his background in moral philosophy and his observations of the burgeoning industrial society of 18th-century Britain. His extensive travels and intellectual exchanges with contemporaries cultivated his economic worldview, leading to critiques of regulation and a robust defense of individual entrepreneurship. Smith's keen insights stem from a profound understanding of both human nature and economic systems, making his work remarkably prescient. *The Wealth of Nations* is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of economic thought. It not only informs the historical trajectory of economics but also lays the groundwork for contemporary debates surrounding capitalism and its societal implications. Readers will find a compelling exploration of human behavior and market dynamics that resonates to this day.

The Implementation of Free Prior...

Fanny Pulver

Corporations have become powerful actors exerting increasing influence on society and the living conditions of individuals worldwide, including indigenous peoples. While it is recognized that corporations have a responsibility to respect indigenous peoples’ rights and the important safeguard concept of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC), it is rather unclear what such a corporate responsibility entails from a legal perspective. This doctoral thesis thoroughly analyses the regulatory framework pertaining to indigenous peoples and corporations as well as the ‘case law’ of the OECD National Contact Points (NCPs). Based on this analysis, the thesis identifies currently applied features of indigenous peoples’ rights and FPIC in relation to corporate actors, determines shortcomings in the regulatory framework and the ‘jurisprudence’ of the NCPs, and makes suggestions for possible improvements.
