I found "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith to be an excellent book. He explains things very well. You can tell he has done extensive analyses to back up his conclusions. Free on Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3300 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3300). I actually listened to the recording on librivox.org (read by Stephen Escalera):

- hugh3 15y agoWhile the Wealth of Nations was a great book for its time, I suspect that the time it takes to read it would be better spent reading four shorter economics books. I do recommend P. J. O'Rourke's book On The Wealth Of Nations, though, which summarises and discusses the whole thing in a hundred pages.
