What truly drives economic prosperity? Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations is one of the most influential works in economic history, laying the foundation for free-market capitalism. In this episode of Books Deep Dive, we break down Smith’s key concepts, including the division of labor, the invisible hand, and why true wealth comes from productivity, not gold reserves. Learn how self-interest benefits society, why mercantilism failed, and what role the government should (and shouldn’t) play in a thriving economy.
