Is it historical, or more related to the present?

There's this book that we used in first year politics- it's quite biased in the liberal democracy direction, but it is a good general look at politics. It's called: Baylis and Smith: The Globalisation of World Politics."

Property and Prophets (http://www.amazon.com/Property-Prophets-Evolution-Institutions-Ideologies/dp/0765606097/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196137166&sr=8-2) <--- I read it in college for History of Economic Thought. It&#39;s not too bad; covers Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, Marx, Stalin, Veblen, Keynes and others. While it is critical of capitalism, it&#39;s not a leftist book by any means, if that is what you are looking for. You could probably find it used for cheap somewhere.
