A review by vladcalin
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

3.0

It was not what I imagined. I expected it to be more abstract and have more insights into the economic concepts it presents, but they are very shallowly presented. The book focused too much on how the society was working back then, what social categories existed and their relationship. It was too focused on historical details for my taste (talking about various kind of taxes and transactions between the social categories) and I was hoping it would go more in depth with the economic aspects of that time.

But overall, it was a decent read, pretty informative if you are passionate about the historic evolution of the society and want to learn the most detailed aspects of it, but details as in an enumeration rather than an explanation.
