Almost everyone who has an economics degree has read it, at least in abridgement, and many people with a passing interest in history or cultural studies. It would be hard to think of a more classic book in the social sciences.

I studied it, too. Noone, at least in german universities, reads this. It's all keynesian bs they teach. But good for You!
