James Mill, father of John Stuart Mill, was, with David Ricardo, one of the founders of modern economic thought. Elements of Political Economy originated from lessons given to John Stuart, who was home schooled, and was much in demand when published for a greater audience. It is now regarded as James Mill's most significant contribution to classical economics.
