This book makes an excellent introduction to the views of major economic movers and shakers such as Adam Smith, Thomas Robert Malthus, John Stuart mill, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes. This book is a very readable synopsis of these and other philosophers and gives a context for how contemporary views on economic systems and structures have evolved and how they affect politics in the present day.
