Summary/Abstract: Adam Smith, in his book The Wealth of Nations, mentioned the social, political, administrative, judicial, cultural, military, religious and historical activities and situations of some civilizations and nations from the first ages until to the time he wrote his work from a socio-economic perspective. The Arabs and Tartars also spoke of the sociological stages of society as simple and less costly, warring nations, which remained in the shepherd era. He has dealt with the Arabs and Tartars, who have played a very important role in history, in many places and generally in different places, together with the above issues, and in some places independently. Therefore, in this study, we discussed Smith's view of Arabs and Tatars and their thoughts about them together. In this book, although Smith called Arabs and Tatars barbarians, however he did not neglect to give examples from them on some important issues.
