Into the book
Throughout The Wealth of Nations, Smith subtly repeats that the most efficient system for increasing national wealth is one that allows people to receive rewards for their efforts.
If the rewards of labor were to benefit me, people would compete and explore ways to perform their jobs more efficiently.
At this time, not only individuals become wealthy, but the entire society becomes overflowing with cheap, high-quality products.
This is the 'invisible hand' that Smith talks about.
That is, it refers to the power that ultimately leads to the enrichment of the entire society, even though individuals pursue only their own interests.
---From "Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations: The Birth of the Greatest Book Since the Bible"
In his book Capital, Marx pondered the problems of the capitalist production method and studied a new production method that could replace the capitalist production method.
Because it focused on the method of production, the starting point of Capitalism was the consideration of the 'commodity', the result of production.
His discussion, which begins with commodities, moves on to an analysis of how the capitalist economic system operates through the circulation of capital.
This analysis argues that capitalism has its own internal contradictions and is therefore destined to collapse.
---From "Karl Marx, Capital: The Book That Had the Greatest Impact on Humanity"
In conclusion, Sachs argues that a country's economic failure can be due to numerous factors, including its natural and geographical environment, fiscal constraints including external debt, geographic problems that negatively impact trade, lack of innovation, and overpopulation.
And it is also said that these failed countries are poor because they are too poor to accumulate the capital needed to invest in the future.
In other words, the trap of poverty itself is the most important reason why most poor countries fail to achieve economic growth.
Sachs went beyond simply arguing that breaking free from the cycle of poverty was the way out of the trap of poverty itself.
He is a sharp critic of the IMF, the World Bank, and the US foreign aid and donation policies.
And he argues that global help and cooperation are needed to help countries and people trapped in the poverty trap get back on their feet.

300 years of economic history in 25 volumes
“Economics is always a matter of choice between alternatives.
“It is a discipline for choosing.”_Paul Samuelson
When you read economics books written by economists who have spent their entire lives working on them, you realize that the problems they faced in the past are not very different from the problems we are struggling with today.
First, by understanding the times in which the book was written, and then reading the book's core content and its impact on later generations, you will gradually come to understand how various economic problems arise, how they were dealt with, and why they were dealt with that way.
This book contains important stories from economic history that are realistic and essential to our lives, such as interest rate hikes, inflation, and economic recessions.
If we follow the footsteps of 300 years of economic history, from Thomas Malthus to Thomas Piketty, including Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", Karl Marx's "Das Kapital", and Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's "Nudge," we may be able to find answers to the questions we are concerned about.
This book will be an excellent resource for teenagers preparing for exams, college students looking for a book to refer to in their economics classes, working professionals who want to learn at least a basic understanding of economics, and anyone interested in the framework of economic thinking.
