RE: Ask Steemit: What is one book that you recommend everyone should read? - 有哪一本书你建议所有的人应该读的？
"An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (1776) by Adam Smith:
There is no such thing as a single book that can be recommended to everyone. People have different tastes and desires.
There are, however, books that everybody should read, liking it, or not.
One of these books is [The Wealth of Nations] by Adam Smith.
As the basis of all economics, this book is important for everyone that wants to live in a world ruled by money.
Read it. Was surprisingly disappointed by how dry it is, but it's still important.
Yup totally agree. Everyone has different interest, and naturally, we gravitate towards the subject that holds our interests the most. Comparing one book to another is like comparing an apple to an orange.
The Wealth of Nation is an extremely interesting read because the single most important invention: money is threatening to dominate humanity. It's not only important to understand the role and origin of money, but it's crucial to learn how to manage it wisely.
