The encyclopedic scope of the Wealth of Nations makes it far more than a mere economics treatise. One critic has called it "a history and criticism of all European civilization."Commencing with a discussion of the division of labor, Smith diverges into considerations of the origin and use of money, prices of commodities, wages of labor, profits of stock, rent of land, value of silver, and distinctions between productive and unproductive labor. There follow an account of the economics development of Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire, extended analyses and criticism of the commercial and colonial policies of European nations,the revenue of the sovereign, different methods of defense and administration of justice in primitive societies, the origin and growth of standing armies in Europe, a history of education in the Middle Ages and a criticism of the universities of Smith's time,a history of the temporal power of the church,the growth of public debts,and,in conclution,an examination of principles of taxation and systems of public revenue.

『国富論』(これは下記の訳を使います) http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%AB%B8%E5%9B%BD%E6%B0%91%E3%81%AE%E5%AF%8C%E3%81%AE%E6%80%A7%E8%B3%AA%E3%81%A8%E5%8E%9F%E5%9B%A0%E3%81%AE%E7%A0%94%E7%A9%B6 『国富論』の百科事典的な視野は、（同書を）単なる一経済論文よりも非常に広いものにしている。ある評論家は「全ヨーロッパ文化の歴史と批判」であると言う。 分業について、スミスは、通貨の起源と使用、日用品の価格、労働賃金、株の利益、土地の賃貸料金、銀の価値、生産的労働と非生産的労働の区別、の考慮に分化する。 続いて、ローマ帝国以来のヨーロッパにおける経済進展が述べられ、ヨーロッパ諸国の通商および植民政策の長い分析と批判、君主の収入、原始社会の種々な防衛および法施行の方法、ヨーロッパの常備軍の起源と増大、中世の教育史、スミスの時代の大学の批判、教会の世俗的な権力史、公共負債の成長、そして最後に、課税の原則と公共収入組織の批判、がある。

すでに立派な回答が寄せられていますが、古今の偉人を要約的に振り返ることができそうなので、興味を抱いて、ついでに訳してしまいました。 （なお、誤植１つ：conclution → conclusion。) 『国富論』を百科全書的に展望すれば、単なる経済学の一論文以上に、優れて遠大なものとなります。ある批評家はそれを、「全ヨーロッパ文明の歴史と批判である」と呼びました。「スミスは、分業の議論から始めて、通貨の起源と使用、日常の必需品の価格、労働賃金、保有蓄財の利益、土地の賃貸料、銀の値、また生産的労働と非生産的労働との相違の考察へと分け入っていきます。 そしてそこから、以下のように続いていきます。すなわち、ローマ帝国の没落以来のヨーロッパの経済発展の説明で、それはヨーロッパ諸国家による商業・植民政策に対する分析と批判、主権者の歳入、原始社会での防衛と裁判の管理に関する（本国とは）異なる方法、ヨーロッパにおける常備軍の起源と成長、中世の教育史とスミス時代の大学批判、教会の権力盛衰史、公債の膨張、そして結論部として、課税の原理と国庫収入機構の検討、などへと及んでいます。

A growing populist force, the U.K. Independence Party, blames Europe for allowing hundreds of thousands of workers outside the country to settle here. “The business perspective, broadly speaking, clashes with the No. 1 concern about the European Union from the public,” said Mats Persson, director of Open Europe, which favors a looser relationship between Britain and the European Union.

The idea for a general economic and financial conference of European nations had roots in a January 1922 session of the Supreme War Council held in Cannes. With Europe facing an economic catastrophe brought about by half a decade of World War, marked by millions of deaths, shattered infrastructure, and vast sums of squandered economic resources, British prime minister David Lloyd George sought an authoritative international gathering to set Europe's political and financial house in order, and to firmly establish his leadership at home. The formal proposal was made at Cannes on 6 January 1922 in the form of a draft resolution presented by Lloyd George and approved unanimously that same day calling for such a conference. Lloyd George told his parliament that the primary intent of the conference was to provide for "reconstruction of economic Europe, devastated and broken into fragments by the desolating agency of war. The economy of Europe was at the point of collapse, Lloyd George noted: "If European countries had gathered together their mobile wealth accumulated by centuries of industry and thrift on to one pyramid and then set fire to it, the result could hardly have been more complete. International trade has been disorganized through and through. The recognized medium of commerce, exchange based upon currency, has become almost worthless and unworkable; vast areas, upon which Europe has hitherto depended for a large proportion of its food supplies and its raw material, completely destroyed for all purposes of commerce; nations, instead of cooperating to restore, broken up by suspicions and creating difficulties and new artificial restrictions; great armies ready to march, and nations already overburdened with taxation having to bear the additional taxation which the maintenance of these huge armaments to avoid suspected dangers renders necessary." Lloyd George controversially sought the inclusion of Germany and Soviet Russia to the international conference as equal members, which met with the particular opposition of France, which sought to neutralize and isolate the two pariah nations of Europe by including them only in an inferior capacity. Any softening in the hardline stance towards Germany was perceived by France as a weakening of the Treaty of Versailles, of which it was a prime beneficiary and to which it was immutably committed.

Mr. Geithner also urged Asian and Pacific economies to take up the slack as Europe confronts slowing economic growth. “We are all directly affected by the crisis in Europe,” he said, “but the economies gathered here are in a better position than most to take steps to strengthen growth in the face of these pressures from Europe.” ガイトナーさんの発言ですが、are in a better position than のつぎにmostがきており、これが何を指すのかわかりません。 この部分の訳を教えてください。 できれば文法的な説明もしていただけるとありがたいです。

以下の文章です。 It is, of course, true that the emancipation of Asia and Africa and the development of the European crisis went hand in hand. Among the factors which facilitated the rise of independence movements in Asia and Africa, we must include the weakening of the grip of the European powers, Iargely as a consequence of their own discords and rivalries and of the wastage of resources in which their wars resulted. From the time of the First World War the incipient nationalist movements in the non-European world profited and the sudden collapse of the European empires after 1947 was to a large extent a consequence of external pressures and of the impact of world politics. In Asia neither the British nor the French nor the Dutch ever recovered from the blows inflicted by japan between 1941 and 1945; while in Africa and the Middle East they were checked and forced into retreat by pressures from the United States-acting directly and through the United Nations-which had a strong anti-colonial tradition of its own and was unwilling to stand aside while colonialism drove the peoples of Asia and Africa over to the side of the Soviet Union. Nationalism came to Asia a century later than it came to Europe and to black Africa fifty years later than to Asia. Two external events in the early years of the twentieth century were a powerful stimulus in its rise. The first was the victory of Japan over Russia in the war of 1904-5ー a victory hailed by dependent peoples everywhere as a blow to European ascendancy and proof that European arms were not invincible. Its impact was redoubled when, ten years later,the Japanese defeated the Germans in Shantung; and the successful campaigns of Kemal Ataturk against France in 1920 and Greece in 1922 were greeted in the same way as Asian victories over western military power. The second event was the Russian revolution of 1905ーa revolution which produced scarcely an echo in Europe but which, seen as a struggle for liberation from despotism, had an electrifying effect throughout Asia. The wave of unrest extended as far as Vietnam, and its impact, in sparking off the Persian revolution of 1906, the Turkish revolution of 1908 and the Chinese revolution of 1911, and in the new impetus it gave to the Indian Congress movement in 1907, was such that its consequences in Asia have been compared with those of the French revolution of 1789 in Europe.

German industrial and economic power had grown greatly after unification and the foundation of the Empire in 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War. From the mid-1890s on, the government of Wilhelm II used this base to devote significant economic resources for building up the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy), established by Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, in rivalry with the British Royal Navy for world naval supremacy. As a result, each nation strove to out-build the other in capital ships. With the launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906, the British Empire expanded on its significant advantage over its German rival. The arms race between Britain and Germany eventually extended to the rest of Europe, with all the major powers devoting their industrial base to producing the equipment and weapons necessary for a pan-European conflict. Between 1908 and 1913, the military spending of the European powers increased by 50% Photo of large white building with one signs saying "Moritz Schiller" and another in Arabic; in front is a cluster of people looking at poster on the wall.

These people are the extreme edge of Europe's working poor: a growing slice of the population that is slippping through the long-vaunted European social safety net. Many, particularly the young, are trapped in low-paying or temporary jobs that are replacing permanent ones destroyed in the economic downturn. Now, economists, European officials and social monitoring groups are warning that the situation is about to get worse. As European governments respond to the debt crisis by pushing for deep spending cuts to close budget gaps and greater flexibility in their work forces, "the population of working poor will explode," said Jean-Paul Fitoussi, an economics professor at L'Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris. To most Europeans, and especially the French, it seems this should not be happening. With generous minimum wage laws and the world's strongest welfare systems, Europeans are accustomed to thinking they are more protected from a phenomenon they associate with the United States and other laissez-faire economies. But the European welfare state, designed to ensure that those without jobs are provided with a basic income, access to health care and subsidized housing, is proving ill prepared to deal with the steady increase in the number of working people who do not make enough to get by. The trend is most alarming in hard-hit countries like Greece and Spain, but it is rising even even in more prosperous nations like France and Germany. "France is a rich country," Mr.Fitoussi said. "But the working poor are living in the same condition as in the 19th century".

うまく訳せない部分があるのですが、どなたか和訳していただけませんか？ Today Europe faces a new flow of immigrants from countries that have not shared the experiences of Western culture. Eastern Europeans are moving west since the fall of the Communist regimes in 1989. The influx is destined to increase, perhaps dramatically, because of the changes in Eastern Europe. Immigrantion from Third and Fourth World countries is creating new social and economic problems. The impact of immigrants from so many different cultures may also undermine Europe's delicate cultural equilibrium. These newcomers have to adjust to two new cultures. They must learn to live in a society that is both European and technological. 以上です。よろしくお願いしますｍ(_ _)ｍ
