----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- [Posted on behalf of Joyce Jacobsen. -- RBE] 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.
