What it's about

The founding text of economics, and far stranger and more humane than its reputation suggests. Smith's division of labour, invisible hand, and warnings about merchants conspiring against the public all sit in the same book.

Reading plan

Pick a finish date and Genius lays out the days — the plan shows today's target and keeps you honest.

Read together

Who it's for

- Anyone who wants economics from the source - Readers who have heard the invisible hand quoted and never read the passage - Anyone interested in how markets were first argued for
