If you want to compare rough contemporaries, try putting David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy and Taxation next to Smith's work. Even harder to grasp, if my memory is accurate, but equally influential. Maybe even more so, within the trade. Perhaps we should try a randomly selected paragraph.

For the other Adam Smith (who wrote flawlessly lucid prose, even on very obscure topics), try The Money Game, one of the best things ever written on the workings of stock markets, or Paper Money, a wonderful macroeconomic treatise.

They are a little dated, but entirely relevant nonetheless; the mechanisms have not changed that much, and parallels jump out everywhere.
