Adam Smith Publishes the Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith Publishes the Wealth of Nations
Adam Smith’s publication of the Wealth of Nations highlights the events for this week.
Adam Smith completed seventeen years of note taking and ten years of writing by publishing The Wealth of Nations on March 9, 1776. Regarded as the leading book on economics even today, The Wealth of Nations helped establish the free enterprise system.
Other events include
Richard Henderson began laying the foundation of Kentucky when he began organizing the Transylvania Colony on the same day.
On March 10 General Howe issued a proclamation that British soldiers in Boston confiscate anything that could be of use by the Colonials.
On March 12 the French King Louis XVI approved an alliance with the American colonies that would provide secret aid to the rebels.

This an excerpt from my book, 1776.
