JALLENAdam Smith, the easy way!
Many of us have read, at least once, “The Wealth of Nations,” by Adam Smith. It is lengthy, tedious in parts and written in the old English styles and phrasings of the mid 18th century. Moreover, there are a lot of thoughts to digest, reasoning, etc. Quite a load!
I found this video which you can watch which does a fair job of the highlights, of Adam Smith and his ideas. You won’t be an Economist when you are finished, but you will have been introduced to many of the essentials, of free markets, etc. It takes an hour or so, and it’s free!

Elk HunterThanks for providing the link.
I did The wealth of Nations in college. Required for my minor in econ.
Unfortunately, not very many of our elected officials and gubbermint employees have even heard of it, let alone read/studied it.

Jimbo54I haven't read it since college 50 years ago. Not much has stuck with me so I'll set aside some time to watch it.
Thanks for the link.
