A Short Guide to the History of Economic Thought

1776 and All That: A Short Guide to the History of Economic Thought by Doug Allen, (I think), is an excellent read - it surveys the entire history of economic thinking with brevity and wit

Keynes said that the government could interfere to make the economy run better.

Friedman said the government intrefered with the economy and made it run worse.

Galbraith said the economy interfered with the government and they both ran worse (Galbraith is from Ontario).

I highly recommend that you download it here and if you disagree with any let it be a spur to have a go yourself.
