Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' gives an in-depth discussion of different economic principles like the productivity, division of labor and free markets. Although written and published more than 200 years ago, it's still hailed as one of the most original works in the field of economics and is still used as a reference by many modern economists. 'An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations' is the complete title of this book and it was first published in 1776, the same year that the American colonies declared their independence from Britain. It's interesting to note that Adam Smith once suggested to British authorities before this year that they should let the colonies be represented in the British parliament because of the contributions they give to the British Empire. But as we all know, they didn't follow his suggestion and the Americans in defiance of British rule declared their independence. Experts at the time argued that if the British only followed Smith's suggestion, the American Revolution wouldn't have happened. Aside from this, Adam Smith had many other brilliant ideas about politics and economics, many of which were discussed in this book. He was the first economist to make an in-depth analysis about the division of labor, how it affects productivity, and what real price is. He also explained in this book the reasons why he opposed mercantilism, an economic theory which was very popular during that time. Then, he recommended and discussed here why free trade is better for nations. This was one of the first books about economics which advocates free trade. This concept is very important in modern economics and have now been embraced by most of the whole world. 'The Wealth of Nations' is an indispensable work that every student of economics should read. It's a timeless classic and many of the concepts discussed in it are still valid today. more

Orignally written as a series of newspaper articles in 1847, Wage-Labour and Capital was intended to give a short overview, for popular consumption, of Marx's central threories regarding the economic relationships between workers and capitalists. These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes 'labour' from 'labour-power', and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies and the disenfranchisement of the middle and working classes. The Theory of Alienation, which describes a dehumanising effect of capitalist production, in which an immediate social signifcance of labour to the worker is absent, is also touched upon. These theories were later elaborated in Volume 1 of Capital, published in 1867. This edition of Wage-Labour and Capital, published in 1891, was edited and translated by Friedrich Engels, and remains one of the most widely read of Marx's works.
