The Squashed edition of The Fable of the Bees by Bernard Mandeville.
Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. Squashed
editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own
words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous
lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story.
"Like reading the bible without all the begats" - Prof. Jim Curtis
