12 Books That Changed the World - Season 1 Episode 3
ADAM SMITH: THE WEALTH OF NATIONS (1776)
The Scottish philosopher gave birth to the modern belief in the free market, arguing that the invisible hand of competition will guide an economic system based on individual self-interest. His influence still steers economic policy and has influenced social policy throughout the Western world. THE KING JAMES BIBLE (1611)
This "translation to end all translations" was the result of the combined effort of about 50 scholars, relying on several other bibles as sources. In 1611 the first of the huge (16") pulpit folios known as The King James Bible came off the printing press.
MAGNA CARTA (1215)
Magna Carta established a key constitutional principle - that the power of the king could be limited by a written grant. This principle is the cornerstone of the British constitutional and legal system. The royal chancery produced a formal royal grant, which became known as Magna Carta (Latin for the 'Great Charter').
