Abstract
In his book, The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith socio-economically made references to social,
political, administrative, judicial, cultural, military, religious, and historical activities and
situations of some civilizations and nations that existed from the first age until the time he wrote
this work. He similarly spoke of Arabs and Tatars as simple, frugal, and warrior nations that
remained stranded in the shepherd era, which was one of the sociological stages of society. He
discussed Arabs and Tatars, who have played a very important role in history, in several places,
mostly and generally in connection with the above issues and in some places independently.
Therefore, in this study, we discussed Smith's views on Arabs and Tatars and his thoughts about
them together. In this book of his, although he called Arabs and Tatars barbarians, Smith did not
fail to provide frequent examples from them on some important issues.
