This is the fourteenth volume of The World’s Greatest Books, an early twentieth-century anthology series that presented condensed versions of notable works for the general reader. This volume gathers selections from the fields of philosophy and economics, offering brief epitomes of important texts intended to introduce their main ideas to a wide audience.
This free EPUB edition has been carefully cleaned and formatted for modern e-readers. As an abridged survey rather than a complete edition of any single work, it serves as a convenient sampler of influential thinkers and a snapshot of how the canon was popularised for everyday readers a century ago.
