John Stuart Mill

Kannu

You want to study economics. Excellent. But remember that some other fields of study are inextricably linked with this son, like politics, history, anthropology, environmental studies, psychology, etc. anything to give you more insight into resources and behaviour. 

Here's an overview of John Stuart Mill son. One of my heroes. He trawled and wrote on all the subjects mentioned above son. Brilliant fellow. Another person like this was Raja Ram Mohon Roy but will speak about him later.
