I wanted to bring your attention to a newly available on-line book. It is: 
 
William J. Barber, A History of Economic Thought, first published in 1967 
 
This has been a perennially-cited and much-used secondary text that discusses many of the
standard economics classics (Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, Marx, Keynes, etc.). The book
recently went out of print both in the U.S. and in the U.K. Prof. Barber holds the
copyright, as has kindly consented to make the book freely available through this site. I
arranged to have it uploaded. The book is in text rather than pdf form and is therefore
fully searchable, and has an interface that allows the user to jump around from section to
section through a clickable Table of Contents and forward/backward buttons and access the
footnotes in a separate window.
 
If you think the site you maintain of economics readings might benefit by linking to this
book, please take a look at it at http://www.wesleyan.edu/css/readings/Barber/toc.htm and
add a link to this page from your site if you see fit.
 
Any questions please contact me. 
 
 
Regards, 
Joyce Jacobsen
