Bookmarked. Solid work my friend.
I wanted to thank you for putting this list together. Some solid works represented here.
Kinda sad that the top 4 books on a list devoted to "economic history" (Smith, Keynes, Rousseau, Marx) are just wild philosophical speculations about economic history which have nothing to do with any actual evidence from archeology, anthropology, ancient texts, etc.
