The Wealth of Nations.

Eamonn Butler’s Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations: The Graphic Novel brings Adam Smith’s great book to life through a fast, accessible story format. Blending narrative and clear explanation, it follows Adam Smith as he observes real markets, trade, and everyday decision-making, then turns those insights into a broader theory of how to promote general prosperity.

Rather than presenting economics as distant or technical, the book highlights the motives behind production and exchange—especially the role of specialisation, competition, and the “invisible hand.”

Using vivid characters and simple cause-and-effect lessons, it guides readers toward key themes in The Wealth of Nations: division of labour, productivity, and the importance of institutions that support free markets.
