Una investigación sobre la naturaleza y causas de la riqueza de las naciones (título original en inglés: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations), o sencillamente La riqueza de las naciones, es la obra mas celebre de Adam Smith. Publicado en el 9 de marzo de 1776, es considerado el primer libro moderno de economia.Smith expone su analisis sobre el origen de la prosperidad de paises como Inglaterra o los Paises Bajos. Desarrolla teorias economicas sobre la division del trabajo, el mercado, la moneda, la naturaleza de la riqueza, el precio de las mercancias en trabajo, los salarios, los beneficios y la acumulacion del capital. Examina diferentes sistemas de economia politica, en particular, el mercantilismo y la fisiocracia; asimismo, desarrolla la idea de un orden natural. Este "sistema de libertad natural", como lo llama Smith, es el resultado del libre ejercicio del interes individual que beneficia exitosamente sin proponerselo al bien comun en la solucion de problemas y satisfaccion de necesidades por medio de la libre empresa, de la libre competencia y del libre comercio.La riqueza de las naciones es hoy una de las obras mas importantes de la disciplina economica y, para Amartya Sen, "el libro mas grande jamas escrito sobre la vida economica". Se trata del documento fundador de la economia clasica y, sin duda, del liberalismo economico.

Considerado fundador de la ciencia económica por "La riqueza de las naciones", el escocés Adam Smith (1723-1790) no sólo puso con esta obra los cimientos de una ciencia, sino también de una doctrina: el liberalismo economico. La idea de que la riqueza proviene del trabajo (y no del oro ni de la plata), siendo susceptible de aumentar con una adecuada regulacion del funcionamiento del mercado; la nocion de la competencia como mecanismo limitador de la sed de beneficios y fomentador del bien comun, y el deseo de un Estado fuerte, aunque no grande, que garantice la libertad, la propiedad y el funcionamiento de la "mano invisible" que armoniza los intereses de la persona y de la comunidad, son, en efecto, su perdurable aportacion al mundo que se habia de desarrollar en los siglos siguientes.

Fundador de la economía clásica y autor de La riqueza de las naciones, Adam Smith (1723-1790) suele ser tenido sólo como economista, pero el campo de sus intereses intelectuales fue mucho más amplio. Miembro destacado de la Escuela Escocesa de Filosofia Moral y amigo de David Hume, Smith fue un notable moralista, admirador de la severidad estoica y una persona preocupada por las reglas que gobiernan la conducta humana. De hecho, la obra que en su dia le deparo mas fama fue La teoria de los sentimientos morales, publicada en 1759. La presente version de la obra en una traduccion que merece el calificativo de excelente para Mario Vargas Llosa en La llamada de la tribu, ofrece el texto integro de la misma. En ella Smith defiende que, de la mezcla ponderada de simpatia hacia los sentimientos ajenos y de amor propio, que no egoismo, surgen valores morales que en ultima instancia hacen posible que individuos interesados en si mismos puedan convivir en una sociedad justa, pacifica, prospera y libre.Estudio preliminar y traduccion de Carlos Rodriguez Braun

The annual labour of every nation is the fund which originally supplies it with all the necessaries and conveniencies of life which it annually consumes, and which consist always either in the immediate produce of that labour, or in what is purchased with that produce from other nations.According, therefore, as this produce, or what is purchased with it, bears a greater or smaller proportion to the number of those who are to consume it, the nation will be better or worse supplied with all the necessaries and conveniencies for which it has occasion.But this proportion must in every nation be regulated by two different circumstances: first, by the skill, dexterity, and judgment with which its labour is generally applied; and, secondly, by the proportion between the number of those who are employed in useful labour, and that of those who are not so employed. Whatever be the soil, climate, or extent of territory of any particular nation, the abundance or scantiness of its annual supply must, in that particular situation, depend upon those two circumstances.

Sheriff Ray Cairney is sure something untoward is going on in Bristow and that Curtis Waring - bank manager and town council leader - is behind it. The arrival of two gunslingers and the subsequent turn of events convince Cairney his hunch was right - but how to prove it? The men involved are rich and powerful and he is just one man. That, however, wont stop the sheriff. The murder of an entire family gives Cairney the evidence he will need to bring justice to Bristow, but it will be a long, hard journey.
