PREVIEW: Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations - A Graphic Novel

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, Eamonn Butler, Director and Co-founder of the Adam Smith Institute (ASI), is bringing the foundations of modern economics to a whole new medium.

Recognising that Smith’s seminal 1776 work can be a daunting read for the uninitiated, Butler is developing an original graphic novel designed to strip away the complexity. By translating "The Invisible Hand" and the division of labour into a visual narrative, the project aims to make these world-changing concepts accessible and engaging for a new generation of readers. Keep an eye out for the full release, which is slated to arrive later this year.
