\das kapital\ written by karl marx.
\the prince\ written by niccolò machiavelli.

Explanation:

Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations laid foundational theories for free markets, capitalism, and free enterprise, including the "invisible hand" concept that underpins these systems. The other works focus on critique of capitalism (Marx's texts) or political power (Machiavelli's work), not the development of the market economic system.

Answer:

"The Wealth of Nations" written by Adam Smith.
