Product Description
The standard economics textbook for more than a generation, John Stuart Mill's "Principles of Political Economy" (1848) was really as much a synthesis of his predecessors' ideas as it was an original economic treatise. Heavily influenced by the work of David Ricardo, and also taking ideas from Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus, Mill systematically demonstrated how important economic concepts could be applied to real-world situations. In his emphasis on realism, Mill thus took economics out of the realm of the abstract and placed it squarely within the context of society. For anyone with an interest in the history of economics or the history of ideas, this landmark work of classical economics makes for stimulating and in many respects still very relevant reading.

The Hobo Philosopher, 2007-09-13
This is a very good and very pertinent book. If the people of the time had paid more attention to Mill as opposed to Ricardo and then Marks our world would definitely have been a safer and more peaceful place. Mill has some very sound economic ideas. His ideas are not only reasonable and rational they are possible, compassionate and much more sensible that what we have today; ideas that should be revived and reviewed today. He has a number of interesting answer to basic economic problems. If economics is your passion don't miss this one. This man is no dummy.
