About this listen
Discover the mind behind the modern economy.
This edition features a custom introduction offering biographical insight into Adam Smith’s life and the historical context that shaped his revolutionary ideas. From his early years in Scotland to his mentorship under moral philosopher Francis Hutchinson, uncover the journey that culminated in two of history’s most influential works.
The Wealth of Nations (1776), presented in its complete, unabridged version, laid the foundation for modern economic theory. Divided into five parts, Smith’s analysis of self-interest, free markets, and the division of labor continues to shape economic policies worldwide.
The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), which Smith considered his most important work, explores human morality. Smith argues that empathy—what he called a “mutual sympathy of sentiments”—plays a crucial role in shaping our actions toward others.
Together, these works present a complete vision of Smith’s philosophy: a world where human behavior is driven by both economic self-interest and moral responsibility. His timeless ideas remain essential for understanding the complex relationship between economics and human nature, and continue to influence thought today.
Spanning over 57 hours, whether you're studying economics, philosophy, or seeking to grasp the foundations of capitalism and morality, the Adam Smith Collection offers an unparalleled journey into the mind of the father of modern economics.

Dreadful listening experience
The narrator’s poor elocution, constant inaccurate pronunciations and halting stentorian, nasal tones make this a less than enjoyable listen. Dreadful.

Insights on Economics and Ethics
This book brings together Adam Smith’s two foundational works. It’s been intriguing to see how his ideas on economics and morality connect. The Wealth of Nations gets into the workings of economies and markets, while The Theory of Moral Sentiments explores human behavior, ethics, and the role of empathy. Listening to them together in this book gave me a fuller picture of Smith’s thoughts on how societies function. This collection offers a well-rounded look at Smith’s impact on both fields if you're interested in economics or philosophy

truly inspiring
I feel so intellectually sated and yet somehow overwhelmed at the prospect of being exposed to this compendium of the works of Adam Smith. The breadth and depth of insight into economic affairs and human nature by Smith are simply amazing; I found myself often pausing to reflect on just how his ideas continue to shape our world today. While the 18th-century language and the closely compacted economic ideas sometimes proved a laborious text to read, the benefits of continuing to struggle through the material were great. What this ends up amounting to is the appreciation of Smith's truly ground-shaking thinking and thus a wishing to take a further look at the complex dance between economics and morality in our present society.
