John
Stuart Mill was among the foremost liberal thinkers
of modern times who wrote extensively on economics and
philosophy. Though under the influence of his wife Harriet
Taylor Mill, he came closer towards socialism late in
his life, it was a kind of cooperative socialism that
attracted him; he continues to be regarded primarily
as a pre-eminent liberal thinker.
