Adam Smith: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
Pickering & Chatto (Publishers) Ltd
978-1-85196-342-3 (ISBN)
The period between the original publication and 1805 saw an enormous development in Britain's wealth, the French Revolution, and rapid American and French inflation. William Playfair wrote insightful supplementary chapters and notes to discuss the aspects of these upheavals which he thought Smith would have wanted to address had he lived to see their effects. The edition reproduces the exact text from the corrected and expanded 1784 third edition, including the index, with Playfair's chapters and notes marked clearly as supplementary additions.
