End of the Economic Man
Some of Smith's most interesting and influential ideas channeled through the wit and insight of O'Rourke.
This is either a substitute for or prelude to reading Smith's bible of economic theory and observations, I haven't decided which yet. But it's remarkable how relevant Smith's ideas are to this day. Don't fall into the trap of discarding the pith of Wealth of Nations because of your politics. Smith's writing, though appropriated most recently by the American Right, are apolitical and transcend the current dismal state of fractured debate, giving plenty of thought for liberals and conservatives alike.
