I've begun reading the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, a rather large commitment but since I've taken an interest in economics I finally decided to take the leap. Most modern textbooks refer to Adam Smith as the father of modern economics, and his book, the Wealth of Nations, as a sort of economic bible.
When reading this book it's important to remember that the theories and ideas drawn up by Smith were taken from the 1770's and so he was a very advanced philosopher at his time.
As I read this book I'm making a list of books that must be read later, I'm sure I've already got a year's reading list made out.
