Classic economics text This text by Adam Smith summarizes capitalism in it's purest sense. How markets move, why they move, and thought experiments on how variables affect the outcomes. It's famous for a reason. It's a bit hard to get through in some parts, but this is a good version of the text for students. Pick it up and let your life be changed.. Good digital text Super Bob I was looking for a digital version of this for my Kindle and I was getting pretty discouraged with all of the abridged and incomplete versions that I found. I have an unabridged hard copy at the house but it is rather bulky to carry around. This version appears to be unabridged and contains all five books. After skimming through it briefly after download I found the text does not appear to be notated in any way, which doesn't bother me at all. The hard copy I own is heavily notated with historic references to earlier versions and while this can be interesting at times it is mostly simply distracting.

HeilbronerFrom the Trade Paperback edition.. "Adam Smith's enormous authority resides, in the end, in the same property that we discover in Marx: not in any ideology, but in an effort to see to the bottom of things." --Robert L
