Both Aristotle and Engels are under-rated. Aristotle after all discovered exchange value, and within social relations which tended to hide it. And Engels *Condition of the Working Class* ought to be considered "economics." Engels also deserves credit for recognizing Marx. So I would put Aristotle at #1 and Engels at #3
Ricardo also deserves immense credit for changing his mind on technology and working-class conditions.
Is Quesnay on the list later?
