Dear Expats and friends of Expats, I am halfway through a delightful first-read of the renowned Scotsman economist Adam Smith's 1776 seminal treatise "Wealth of Nations(WofN)" which should more be more correctly titled, "Wealth of People in Nations".
I can't praise Adam Smith's book high enough to every business person in any language. I should have read WofN years ago. Only when I read Stanley Mitchell's acclaimed prose and poetry-rhythm 25-year-effort to translate "Evgeny Onegin" did I discover that Pushkin was influence by WofN. It's a whole mini-MBA in one non-jargoned book covering: marketing, finance, management, operations, currency trading, negotiating, business development et al. I will make a website with free public-domain "Wealth of Nations" PDF files in as many languages as I can find on Project Gutenberg and other similar websites. If you don't have 150,000 Euros for an MBA degree i heartily recommend Adam Smith's first ever comprehensive economics best-seller book. I think it is shorter than Tolstoy's "War and Peace". Best regards, George Dole
