45: (Economics) - Adam Smith - The Wealth of Nations - Part 1

<p>Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, I will be embarking upon a journey into the dry, dry, topic of economics by reading well known pieces of economic theory and literature from famous economists. A good place to start is in book, The Wealth of Nations, which was published in 1776 by the Scottish economist and moral philosopher, Adam Smith. It is a fundamental piece of economic theory that introduced the concept of free-market economics. Obviously, not a perfect theory of everything economics, but for it's place in history, extremely influential, and for the purposes of this podcast... very boring.</p> <p>Now sit back, relax, and open your mind to theories on free markets, division of labor and productivity, because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed. </p>
