Collected Works of John Stuart Mill

Born in London in 1806 into a pedigree of intellect, and educated at the knee of his father, the Scottish philosopher James Mill, John Stuart Mill became one of the 19th century's most influential writers on economics and social philosophy. Liberty Fund is pleased to present in paperback eight of the original thirty-three hardcover volumes of the Collected Works of John Stuart Mill that were first published by the University of Toronto Press. This collection includes Mill's Autobiography, which tells of his extraordinary education under the direct tutelage of his father, and under the indirect influence of some of England's most renowned political economic thinkers. At the tender age of three, Mill was reading Greek, and by eight years of age he was well-versed in English history, classical western philosophy, and arithmetic. These volumes also include Principles of Political Economy, a compendium of economic theory ranging from Adam Smith through the then-modern theories of David Ricardo and Bentham. Principles was the leading economics textbook for nearly half a century and influenced generations of social and economic thinkers
