Great Book, with a small font.
This is indeed a very well made compilation on a difficult subject. It covers many authors with great efficiency. I'm a history buff and an economist so this was heaven for me.
My only problem with the Reader itself is the font; I felt it was a bit on the small side making the reading process less pleasurable than it otherwise would have been.

It should also be made clear that some great economists are mediocre writers, making their points in a very obtuse manner. Also that many early economists didn't know some principles which we today find obvious, this makes some of the writing very quaint in their logic and propositions. This will be fascinating for those who wish to study the history of the economic thought process by looking at the authors themselves.It is not, however, a good book from which to learn economic theory. You are better off knowing the subject already before studying its intellectual history.

Just don't jump into this book without some background on economics. The early authors aren't very eloquent in making their points and the later authors become a bit math intensive if you haven't seen the subject before.

If on the other hand you want a well-compiled overview of great economic classics this book is simply unbeatable.I loved it, but then again I'm a geek.

A Marvellous Record of a Rich Discipline
I have been waiting for years for this kind of book. I teach a small history of economic thought part-time to two colleges in Florida and my students have been very reluctant to dig into their pockets to buy the original texts - there are so many important books. This handy compendium brings together the key contributions between the covers of one, utterly essential volume.

I like the relative conservatism of the selections - the editors do not impose their view of the canon on others and instead treat us to all the classics. I particularly enjoyed the linking material: everything is placed into its proper context.

Lastly - any book that includes "The Fable of the Bees" gets my vote - Godlike Genius!! ... Read more

Decent resource, but pagination is difficult to read.
This book has exactly what you would expect.The only downside is the fact that the code sections are listed on the inside upper corners of the pages, making it difficult to quickly flip to the section you are looking for.The publisher assured me that this would be corrected on the next edition. ...

From the supplier: Effective use of IRC section 179 expense deductions requires a thorough understanding of the IRS regulations that identify how to use the election. Under section 179, businesses are allowed to expense up to $17,500 of business property acquired by purchase. Expensing is only allowed to the extent that of business income though carryover of excess available deductions is allowed.

From the supplier: Changes made by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 to capital gains provisions resulted in lowered tax rates at the price of substantially increased complexity. The three holding periods coinciding with the lowered rates are intended to encourage saving, with an 18 month long-term holding period required for the lowest rate. The new rates create planning issues in areas including the alternative minimum tax and charitable remainder trusts.
