Books that devote significant space to Bernard Mandeville

but do not name him in their titles.

Note:

1. The next list of books is a sequel to Charles W. Prior’s Selected Bibliography:
Bernard Mandeville (1670-1733), which was last revised 28 August 2004.

2. Almost any book that deals primarily with Adam Smith will probably have at least a few pages on Mandeville, and sometimes more than a few.

3. This list is far from complete, and anyone who wishes to add more authors and titles to this list is encouraged to submit this new information to me, via iprim@comcast.net. I thank Dr. Mauro Simonazzi for his contributions.
