Do you have plans to publish any of the writings of A.R.J. Turgot? (I'm sorry that this question is somewhat off topic.)

Yes, that is in the works -- in fact a complete works, including not only economics but also speeches on philosophy, religion, law, etc. Turgot was just amazing.

Mr. Tucker-

Thank you SO much! I've downloaded this and am halfway through it. This is one of the best books I've read on economics, with the added bonus of that rich, 19th-century style of writing you don't see much after the institution of government schools in the 20th century. A definite pleasure, as well as educational.

Small error: "on Political Economy," not "in Political Economy."

Jeffrey,

the description for "Letters to Mr. Malthus" reads:

"J.B. Say battled the profit of doom ..."

Shouldn't that be: "prophet of doom"? ;-)
