I have two of his works The Economic Consequences Of The Peace and The General Theory Of Employment, Interest and Money, and was wondering where to start since someone (not sure if on here or elsewhere) mentioned he was the heir to Friederich Lists economic line of thought. Where do I start and should I read anything else?

No, he was an idiot and a fraud. He literally advocated inflation to "encourage" workers to spend their money and discourage saving - that is to pauperize them and funnel all resources to business owners. Make people behave like fucking African niggers (which, btw. had started to immediately spend all their income in the colonial times to make it impossible to be stolen by their new masters)

The time-proven starter-pack is Hazlitt's "Economics in one lesson" followed by Sowell "Basic Economics" and then Rothbard "Man, Economy, and State".
People generally need some gentle introduction (Hazlitt) because economics is totally ignored in all common school programs - coincidentally or not.

If you're pro-poverty then look for political texts, not economic ones.

didn't say I was pro-poverty numbnuts I was in favor of militarizing the economy. I also like Cole in his conception of guilds

Rothbard is completely irrelevant in economics. OP, just read a textbook

You fucking asked for recommendations, and asked if Keynes is worth reading in the first place.
Now, kindly fuck off and delete this thread.

I did, I wanted to be directed towards lit in a similar vein that might be worth reading, not a bunch of 50000 words on why we should let corporations control us.

>is [economist] worth reading?
The answer is always no.
