Sobre IBD

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
