xx, 591, 24 pp. Mill was the father of the Utilitarian school of philosophy, which advocated for the greatest good for the greatest number of people (which sounds wonderful in theory but is quite difficult to measure, much less achieve). This work, first published in 1848, is still considered a standard reference for economics. This edition incorporates the revisions through the sixth edition, with some minor edits made to make the work more accessible to the average reader.
