thursday seminar

[Arneson, Richard]

hi
for thursday seminar, I am most interested in J. S. Mill, Principles of Political Economy,
Book II, chapters 1 and 2
Book IV, chapters 6 and 7 (but skipping over the detailed discussions of coop
experiments in chapter 7
Book V, chapter 11

further helpful reading
Book IV, chapter 4 (the tendency of profits to a minimum)
Book V, chapters 2-6 (taxation)
Chapters on Socialism

all of the above is available and readily downloaded
from http://www.utilitarian.net/jsmill/

Hi
These notes are incredibly diffuse, but since I am looking at
just a subset of the many issues Mill artfully traverses in the readings from Principles of Political Economy
for today''s seminar meeting, I thought I should lay them (the notes) on you prior to class.

There are lots of topics discussed by Mill that might prompt interest, wonder, or skepticism on your part,
and that would be well worth discussing, even though they don't fit within the scope of the notes here attached.

I'm open to discussing anything in the reading that strikes you as noteworthy.

Best,
Dick Arneson
