The expression "The Wealth of Nation" was probably first used by Daniel Defoe in The
Review during the War for the Spanish Succession: "The power of Nations is not now
measur'd, as it has been, by Prowess, Gallantry, and Conduct. 'Tis the Wealth of Nations
that makes them Great..." (Quoted in John Robert Moore, "Daniel Defoe and Modern Economic
Theory", Indiana University Studies, Vol. XXI, June 1934, p. 6.)
