As you know I'm slowly making my way through the classics of economics. Should I skip the marginalists and go straight to Keynes?

Ever consider writing up book reviews/reports/notes for us as you go?

More diaries...

I am not particularly interested in reviewing Adam Smith, but I'd definitely go for a review of John Stuart Mill's Principles of Political Economy and Chapters on Socialism.

I should probably also review 50 major economists, which I read a few months ago.

You keep giving me more and more ET work.. Poor Barbara.

No, the marginalists are important, and Keynes is an extension of their work. I wouldn't skip them. Nor would I skip the early-20th-Century Classicalists, like Marshall and Pigou, because those are the two men Keynes was critiquing in Book I. I've never seen a Pigou book outside of a library, but you might have better luck in Britain. Also, Mises is a terrible writer, but important, nonetheless.
