What 21st–Century Works Will Merit a Close Reading in 2050? : response from Niclas Berggren

Edmund Burke died 223 years prior to this year 2020. Today, Burke is certainly not esteemed by “every Body,” but many still read him. Some in 2020 even find his work timely. Two hundred twenty-three years from now will be 2243. Will any 21st-century authors to date still be read in 2243? If so, which authors? Let’s start small and ask about 30 years from now, the year 2050: What 21st-century works will merit a close reading in 2050? That is the question asked of Econ Journal Watch authors, of whom Niclas Berggren was one. Read Daniel B. Klein's prologue and Niclas Berggren's reading list.
