……工程经济学的教材可能会有用。我也赞同其他评论者的建议，比如简·雅各布斯（Jane Jacobs）的《城市经济》（Economics of Cities）和《城市与国家财富》（Cities and the Wealth of Nations），以及奥鲁克（O'Rourke）的《吃掉富人》（Eat the Rich），他那本剖析亚当·斯密经典的《解读国富论》（On the Wealth of Nations）也值得一读。
…Engineering Economics text may be useful. And I second the other commentors who suggested Jane Jacobs's "Economics of Cities" and "Cities and the Wealth of Nations" and O'Rourke's "Eat the Rich", his "On the Wealth of Nations", an analysis of Adam Smith's classic is also worth reading.
P·J·奥鲁克的《解读国富论》（On the Wealth of Nations）以风趣且相当精准的方式对原著进行了“浓缩”。ISBN 0-8021-4342-3
P J O'Rourke On the Wealth of Nations does an entertaining and fairly accurate job of "condensing" it. ISBN 0-8021-4342-3
虽然《国富论》在当时是一本伟大的书，但我怀疑读完它所花的时间还不如去读四本篇幅较短的经济学书。不过，我确实推荐 P·J·奥鲁克的《解读国富论》（On The Wealth Of Nations），它用区区一百页就对整本书做了概括和剖析。
While the Wealth of Nations was a great book for its time, I suspect that the time it takes to read it would be better spent reading four shorter economics books. I do recommend P. J. O'Rourke's book On The Wealth Of Nations, though, which summarises and discusses the whole thing in a hundred pages.
……宣称效忠马克思主义思想。关于自由企业（马克思可能会说“资本主义”）经济的一个有趣事实是，它们在一定程度上建立在亚当·斯密《国富论》（On the Wealth of Nations）一书的论述之上。但在斯密写出《国富论》之前，他先写了一本叫《道德情操论》（The Theory of Moral Sentiments）的书，探讨究竟是什么驱使人类做出道德行为。斯密对人性有着更深刻的……
…to proclaim allegiance to Marxist thought. An interesting fact about free-enterprise (Marx might say, "capitalist") economies is that they are based in part on the writings of Adam Smith in the book On the Wealth of Nations. But before Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations, he first wrote a book called The Theory of Moral Sentiments, pondering what motivates human beings to behave morally. Smith had deeper insight into human…
……交到这部分人手中，而不是另一部分人手中。这样一来，国家的大部分资本就投入到了最有可能被有效利用的人手中。” 亚当·斯密 - 《国富论》（On The Wealth Of Nations）
…hands of the one set of people than in those of the other. A great part of the capital of the country is thus thrown in the hands in which it is most likely to be employed with advantage." Adam Smith - On The Wealth Of Nations
补充一个小细节：《国富论》（On The Wealth Of Nations）对资本主义（Capitalism）本身并没有表态赞成或反对。
Minor point, but On The Wealth of Nations has nothing to say for or against Capitalism.
