Yeah, I will get Singer, Peter, 2001. Hegel: A Very Short Introduction first and see how interesting I find it.

would suggest, in order of importance:
Growing Public, Peter Lindert (empirical/political economy)
States and Markets (A Primer in Political Economy, Adam Przeworski
Hierarchy in the Forest, Boehm
Evolution of Cooperation, Axelrod
Blank Slate, Pinker
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks, I already have Black State but will look into the others. Will definitely get "Evolution of Cooperation, Axelrod".
[ QUOTE ]
The Federalist Papers
Machiavelli's Discourses
Collected Works of Isaiah Berlin
Maybe the Analects and the writing of Han Fei-tzu?
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks, I have the Federalist Papers on my computer somewhere. Have added Collected Works of Isaiah Berlin.
