It’s been many years since I read the whole An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. It is full — full — of wonderful and interesting ideas. And it’s sometimes mind numbingly boring.
P. J. O’Rourke has a great new introduction to the book, On the Wealth of Nations. Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it.
Full Disclosure: I had some great conversations with P.J. when he was starting out on the work and he says some nice things about my assistance in the book.
