Reviews

[Alessandro Orlandi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Incredible that a book written in the 1776 is still so actual. It's not only related to capitalism but as well make you understand the dinamics between governments, people, taxation, purchasing power and wealth, Very long but interesting.

[Samuel Cleophas · Rating 2 out of 5]

Brief, and fragmented. Read the five volumes instead.
