John Stuart Mill: 157 books

This 1884 treatise on political economy contains essays written in 1829 and 1830, some previously published, others presented here for the first time.  Mill’s first stab at economics, he later develops his theory in Political Economy, touching on everything from free market capitalism to socialism.

Posthumously published in 1874, these essays—“Nature,” “Utility of Religion,” and “Theism”—are highly critical of traditional religion, rejecting the belief in an omnipotent, benevolent God. Often undervalued, these essays are some of Mill’s most brilliant works.

Je dois, au début même de cet essai de biographie, faire connaître les raisons qui m’ont déterminé à laisser après moi un souvenir d’une vie aussi dépourvue d’événements que l’a été la mienne. Je ne m’arrête pas un seul instant à la pensée que ce que je vais raconter puisse...
