The most renowned document of 1776, the American Declaration of Independence, eloquently asserts in 1,320 words the self-evident truths of equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Equally significant from that year is Adam Smith's 'An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.' This foundational text in economics, mirroring the Declaration's dedication to happiness - or 'welth' in Middle English - spans an imposing 131,000 words across two volumes. Through twenty-four Economical Stories, A Wealth of Narrations makes economics accessible and relevant, offering a unique perspective on how we understand happiness and wealth today.
