The
Mystery of Capital
By
Hernando De Soto
Basic Books, 2000 - 276 pages
While
highly repetitive at times (chapters 1-4) this is an excellent

A
History of Economic Thought
By
Lionel Robbins, Steven Medema (Editor), Warren Sanuels
(Editor)
Princton University Press, 2000 - 393 pages
From
the lecture notes of the renown LSE (London School of
Economics) professor Lionel Robbins this book illustrates
economic thought since Plato and Aristotle. I found it
of value since Adam Smith doesn't even appear until the middle
of the book and is an excellent read after the two prior
books. More
