Kansojen Varallisuus by Adam Smith
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
A foundational economic treatise arguing that prosperity stems from the division of labor and free markets, where individuals pursuing their own interests are guided—by what the author calls an “invisible hand”—to promote efficient allocation of resources; it critiques mercantilist policies, defends free trade and competitive markets, explains how specialization raises productivity, and outlines a limited role for government in defense, justice, public works and education along with principles for taxation and public finance.
