As you may have noticed, I've changed the right hand column of the blog. While RSS feeds, category archives and so on can now be found in the left column, the right column is a collection of recommended books. If you click on an image, it will take you to an amazon.co.uk page, and if you buy the book, we get a cut of the sale price. So please – shop away! And if there are any good political/economic books you think we should link to, email them to info@old.adamsmith.org or leave a comment below.

On a related note, I've added paypal functionality to our online shop, so buying Adam Smith busts, ties and medallions has never been more convenient. Remember to think of us when it's time to do the Christmas shopping!
