Thanks, dippin. I am aware of the online availability of the texts, but I refuse to read at length online.
I'm also aware of Ricardo's influence, but didn't know the proportion. I also understand that Mill's Principles of Political Economy plays a role as well.
However, I've always intended on reading Wealth of Nations and figured it was a more natural starting point for this track. It seems to be the most popular work on this subject. Do you suggest reading Ricardo and Mill as well?
