*Scarce and Valuable Economic Tracts*

Three big volumes, about 1800 pp., these books reprint the true classics behind the origins of economic thought.  These are the best works of economics published before Adam Smith, and essentially they founded economic science.  The originals were edited by the classical economist John Ramsay McCulloch, but they now have been reprinted by Classical Liberal Press.  I don’t know of any comparably easy way to read these works, or anything close.

Here is one volume, here is another, here is a third.  Each is priced below $20, definitely recommended.
