This wide-ranging collection looks at history through the lens of wealth and trade with a focus on economics in the widest sense, including political science, history, philosophy, sociology, and special collections on banking, finance, transportation and manufacturing. The Making of the Modern World: Part I: The Goldsmiths'-Kress Collection, 1450-1850 includes:

• Major writings of many economists. The Making of the Modern World has multiple editions of the major works of many economists. For instance, users will find the most complete collection Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations", an important work that served as the basis for classic economic theory. In addition to comprehensive coverage of major authors and their seminal works, The Making of Modern World also includes contemporary debates and counterpoints to these emerging theories of modern economy.
  
• Minor writings. Political pamphlets and broadsides, government publications, proclamations, and ephemera - of great interest to researchers and students - are available in great quantities.
