Adam Smith's landmark treatise on the free market paved the way for modern capitalism,arguing that competition is the engine of a productive society,and that self-interest will eventually come to enrich the whole community,as if by an'invisible hand'. Throughout history,some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate,dissent,war and revolution. They have enlightened,outraged,provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers,pioneers,radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
