Considered the father of modern economics, I believe he wrote the wealth of nations in order to establish boundaries between the state and economic freedoms.
Prior to 1776, the state (England) controlled who, what, where and when items could be bought, traded or sold. They established price points and inflationary means to fund the crown.
Smith wanted it known that economics should be free of the constraints of the state and allowed to "run free."
Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations.
The two most popular works by Adam Smith are The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations (officially titled An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations). Other works of his include Essays on Philosophical Subjects; Lectures on Jurisprudence; Lectures on Justice, Police, Revenue, and Arms; and A Treatise on Public Opulence.
The main principle of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations is that business prospers by finding out what people want and providing it.
