Wealth of Nations is not worth reading. The first three books are explaining self-evident phenomena and you learn nothing from them. Four and five go into policy, but they're wrong. They fundamentally fail to understand the mechanisms of the economy. What you have to understand is that Adam Smith was a moral philosopher and Wealth of Nations is a secular enlightenment book. What he describes as the "Invisible Hand" is what he has mentally detached from God in order to explain how the market works.
