It has a few misconceptions. But still worth your time.
The wealth of nation's isn't taught in college level economics courses because most of what Adam Smith says is true. He isn't a corporate, globalist shill. It's a long book and I haven't read alot of it, but what I did read was very deep.
It's a tough one. The couple of 100 page digressions are mind numbing and brutal.
>relevant since the founding of US fucking A.
>first ever piece of literature that mentions the "invisible hand".
It's one of the books that's ever worth it.
>invisible hand
>ignores the bible said it first
Accept Christ, going through life without your heavenly Fathers love is such a waste
That's a different invisible hand.
Also, thanks. I don't really believe in god and all parade and all but it is a bit comforting to know.
If you're a total blank on economics then its a good crash course. Also goes heavy into mercantilism, but I think that's a good thing for you to have because modern day economics and trade is such a clusterfuck you'll need to periodically mentally ground yourself to basic mercantile trade to have good retrospect. I don't know if that makes any sense or not. But yeah its a definite read, but its very dry as another user has said.
it literally is taught in economics courses though.
also forgot to mention that if you're a super free-market laissez faire Jow Forums tard this book is definitely worth the read as it will express to you in relatively simple terms why you are a stupid dick.
Keep in mind that when he wrote it we couldn't outsource call center jobs to India.
