Description

The Wealth of Nations, published by Aatos Editions, is a classic work by Scottish economist Adam Smith, considered the foundational text of classical political economy. In this book, the moral philosopher introduced his ideas on the state's economic role.

This weighty matter is presented in a beautifully designed cover featuring an illustration by Piëtke Visser, based on Ville Andersson's drawing. Fittingly, the cover features the "invisible hand" that Smith famously described as guiding the economy. The book also contains a section dedicated to Smith and his life.

The Wealth of Nations is according to many the foundational text of the discipline of economics, marking a turning point from earlier political philosophy to economics as we know it today. Written by Adam Smith in the late 18th century, his study develops concepts which have since become cornerstones of economic thought such as division of labour, productivity, return on investment, free markets and professions, and more.

Shipping & Delivery

If all the items in your order are in stock, your order will be dispatched from our warehouse in Finland within two working days. The estimated delivery time is shown on the product pages and at checkout.

The shipping cost is based on the destination, weight, and volume of the shipment and will be calculated automatically. You will see the exact rate, available shipping options and estimated delivery date at checkout once you have filled in your address details.

Please note that your order will be delivered as one full shipment once all the items are in stock.

Orders shipped to Australia are subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST) as following:

For private customers:

  • Orders of AU$1,000 or less (goods value only, excluding shipping and taxes):
    • A 10% GST is included in the prices and paid at checkout.
  • Orders over AU$1,000:
    • GST and any applicable import duties are collected by Australian customs upon arrival and must be paid by the recipient. Since GST is collected by customs, it is deducted from the order total at checkout and shown as a separate line item in the cost breakdown.

Please note that our product pages display prices including 10% GST. As a result, the AU$1,000 threshold effectively applies to orders with a displayed goods value of AU$1,100 or more.
