Readers in history of economic thought are difficult to do because there is 
so much to choose from. Eckland and Hebert (McGraw Hill) have a reader to 
go along with their history of thought book.  It includes a concordance 
with the major US history of thought books. On my web site 
http://www.middlebury.edu/~colander/ec450/readings.htm 
<http://www.middlebury.edu/~colander/ec450/readings.htm>  I have readings 
available on the web associated with each of the chapters with the new 
(4th) edition of Harry Landreth's and my hostory of thought book. (Houghton 
Mifflin)  (The 4th edition will be out in October, I believe.) Harry 
Landreth and I also have a Classic Readings (Mc Graw Hill) book that has 
short selections of literature that is appropriate for a principles course. 
We made them promise that it would have a low price-I think they charge $10 
or so, and it is essentially free when it is included with my Principles 
book. (Of course they charge a mint for the book, as they do with all 
principles books)  (It is with McGraw Hill and you can find information 
about it on their web site.)  
 
I have found that more and more is becoming available on the web, and that 
given the cost of readers, that using the web rather than a reader is a 
better way for students to get the readings built into the course.
