John Stuart Mill made essential contributions to social theory, political theory and political economy. He has been called "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century". Today, Mill’s examinations of human rights, morality, personal and societal responsibilities, and the striving for individual happiness are still having impact on our philosophies, both private and political.
The essay of AUSTIN ON JURISPRUDENCE is one of Mill’s most influential contributions to judicial theory. It is one of the most widely read of all books on social theory in the world as Mill's On Liberty and On the Principles of Political Economy.

John Stuart Mill in the essay reviewed John Austin’s Lectures on Jurisprudence and compared Bentham with Austin. He gave an essentially destructive role to Austin and a constructive role to Bentham. Bentham had then conducted the necessary task of removing the absurdities and irrationalities which characterized the study of the law. Austin had then conducted the equally indispensable task of classifying, defining, and distinguishing legal ideas. John Mill also answered the question in the essay why he praised the work of Austin.

John Mill is known as one of the founders of economics. This is a must-read book for people who are interested in the deepest thoughts and liberal view about judicial theory and economics by John Mill, one of the greatest thinkers on the planet.
