You can get a free pdf copy of How the Dismal Science Got Its Name: Classical Economics and the Ur-Text* of Racial Politics, by David M. Levy. The freebie is courtesy of The University of Michigan Press.

It's not available in ebook form from Amazon, apparently. However, a physical copy of this book would set you back a minimum of $17 there (and that's for a used copy).

It's 320 pages long.

Here's a list of the chapters in the book:
Part 1. Two Sciences in Collision: The Dismal and the Gay.
1. Poets Come, Bringint Death to Friends of the Dismal Science.
2. Ecce Homo [sic]: Symbols Make the Man.
3. Beginning with an Exchange or with a Command?
4. A Rational Choice Approach to Scholarship.
Part 2. Market Order or Hierarchy?
5. Debating Racial Quackery.
6. Economic Texts as Apocrypha.
7. Hard Times and the Moral Equivalent of Markets and Slavery.
Part 3. The Katallactic Moment.
8. Exchange between Actor and Spectator.
9. The Partial Spectator in the Wealth of Nations: A Robust Utilitarianism.
10.Katallactic Rationality: Language, Approbation, and Exchange.
11.Adam Smith's Rational Choice Linguistics.
