Recherches sur la nature et les causes de la richesse des nations, Volume 3, by Adam Smith, is a foundational text in the field of economics. Originally published in 1776, this work explores the principles of free markets, division of labor, and the accumulation of capital. This French edition offers readers an opportunity to engage with Smith's ideas in the language of the Enlightenment, providing insight into the economic and political landscape of the late 18th century.
Smith's analysis of economic growth and his advocacy for policies that promote prosperity continue to resonate with scholars and policymakers today. This volume offers a valuable resource for understanding the intellectual origins of modern capitalism and the ongoing debates about the role of government in the economy. Containing ownership markings from John Adams of the Boston Public Library, this edition provides a unique link to the historical reception and dissemination of Smith's groundbreaking ideas.
