I finished Adam Smith's Inquiry and now I turn to /lit/ for where I should go next, I was looking for someone within a century of him prior of later. I was considering Locke's economic work

Short of that I'd like to know where to find a list of every notable and not-so-notable economists that have published monographs and analyses on the topic

I hope that at some point you're going to read Marx. I assume that's in your plans.

Yes, I'm not a neolib shill cuck and I am open to unorthodox economics too, having some experience with them also.

I don't want appeals to ethics and shit, I want cold logically sound analysis, red, yellow, blue or green.

But I am not leaving the 18th century for a while

Okay, well good. Not sure how many people exist between Smith and Marx that I can recommend, economic writing isn't my specialty.

I might suggest that you read some Burke. He's not an economic writer, but as a politician he did deal directly with matters of global trade and empire. He might be worth sifting through.

Continue with the Right Honourable David Ricardo

quickly skimmed his wikipedia page that lists the gist of his essays, he doesn't seem to have touched upon what Smith didn't. Does he go in further detail?

David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. Introduces the labor theory of value, law of rent, and comparative advantage (this is the big one in orthodox macroeconomics).

then why would you want to read Marx?

Locke is a good follow-up, along with Bastiat, most important, and de Molinari.
After these, you can choose between the labor theory of value and the subjective theory of value. Considering the latter of the two - which is the correct one - read Menger, Walras and Böhm von Bawerk.
