Item description from seller

Extraordinarily handsome set of the Limited Edition of Adam's Smith's "birth of capitalism," organizing the science of economics: Wealth of Nations. An exquisite facsimile pf the first edition, (London, 1776), the LE was capped at 1000 copies. Yours is hand-numbered 79. A landmark of economic thought in exceptional collector's condition, Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations appears in two volumes from the renowned "Klassiker der Nationalökonomie" series, edited by Wolfram Engels, Hebert Hax, Friedrich A. v. Hayek, and Horst Claus Recktenwald, among the 20 C's finest Smith scholars, notably Hayek. "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest," Smith nailed it, unanswerably first. From free trade, to the division of labor, to the limited role of the state, to Smith’s provocative “invisible hand.” this series offers editorial oversight underscoring Smith's lasting relevance. Exquisite calf bindings combine structural integrity with gilt edges on front and back panel edges, gilt spine with raised bands, vibrant marbled endpapers. No writings, markings, or bookplates of any kind. You wont find a finer. Book #Bv2001. $800. We specialize in rare Ayn Rand, and other Legends and Landmarks.
