London; Atlantic Books, 2007. First UK edition. 28x19 cm. xii, (1, 1 blank), 242 pp. Publisher's brown boards with printed dustjacket. A fine copy. "In this hilarious and brilliant book P. J. O'Rourke shows us why Smith is still relevant, why what seems obvious now was once revolutionary, and how the division of labour, freedom of trade and pursuit of self-interest espoused by Smith are not only vital to the welfare of mankind, they're funny too. He goes on to establish that far from being an avatar of capitalism, Smith was actually a moralist of liberty." (cited from front flap of jacket).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations - 1776, First Dublin Edition (3 Volumes) ---- A true gem for collectors and historians, this is the extremely rare First Dublin Edition of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, published in 1776 shortly after the groundbreaking first London edition. This complete set of three octavo volumes is increasingly hard to find, making it a highly desirable acquisition for any serious collection. *** The books are bound in full contemporary calf, with gilt titles on all volumes. While the bindings show expected signs of age, including some discoloration and minor wear to the joints and spines, they remain sturdy and intact, with the interior remarkably clean. Each volume features the signature of Sir Richard Frankland, Baronet of Ashgrove, adding a notable provenance to this distinguished set. *** Smith's work sparked a revolution in political economy, advocating for free trade, market-driven pricing, and limited government intervention. With its arguments still shaping modern economic thought, this edition holds immense historical importance. It is extremely hard to find on the market today, especially in such good condition, and its historical context and significance make it a must-have for serious collectors of rare books or works of economic history.
