The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

Loyal Books 25 Episodes Jan 2, 2026

This podcast is an audio reading of Adam Smith's "An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations," the landmark 1776 treatise that founded modern economics. It walks through core ideas such as the division of labor, productivity, the workings of free markets, and the origins of national wealth. The recording comes from Loyal Books, which publishes free public-domain audiobooks, so the episodes present the complete text rather than commentary or analysis. Listeners get the original arguments in Smith's own words, along with the historical context of the era in which he wrote.
