Smith’s Inquiry

Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations is an amazingly great book; it seems to be cited in just about every econ paper. Smith basically thought of everything. Tangent that explains why I wrote this post: the full title is, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations; we’re fortunate to know it as The Wealth of Nations; if it was a philosophy book, it would probably be referred to as the Inquiry.
