La Richesse des nations

Rate this book
"L'Économie politique, considérée comme une branche des connaissances du législateur et de l'homme d'État, se propose deux objets distincts : le premier, de procurer au peuple un revenu ou une subsistance abondante, ou, pour mieux dire, de le mettre en état de se procurer lui-même ce revenu et cette subsistance abondante ; - le second, de fournir à l'État ou à la communauté un revenu suffisant pour le service public ; elle se propose d'enrichir à la fois le peuple et le souverain."Dans ce texte fondateur de l'économie politique moderne, Adam Smith analyse, à partir des exemples de l'Angleterre et des Pays-Bas, les origines de la prospérité d'un État. Élaborant une théorie sur la division du travail, la concurrence sur le marché ou encore l'idée d'un intérêt individuel convergeant vers l'intérêt commun, La Richesse des nations (1776) pose les bases du libéralisme économique.

Adam Smith FRSA FRS FRSE was a Scottish philosopher and economist who was a pioneer in thinking on political economy and a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment. He wrote two classic works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). The latter, often abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations , is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work that treats economics as a comprehensive system and as an academic discipline.

Authorities recorded his baptism on 16 June 1723 at Kirkcaldy.
