Theory of Moral Sentiments, Adam Smith (project gutenberg)
It's slow going because of the archaic style, but will be a revelation to anyone who thinks Smith doesn't care about humanity.
I haven't read Theory of Moral Sentiments yet, but Freakonomics did a fantastic podcast series on Adam Smith. They spend a lot of time on the Theory of Moral Sentiments and how what he actually wrote doesn't match the current "perception" of him.
