You know, when you think about it, that was likely a tongue in cheek quip that Keynes is
reported to have made.
 
His earliest book was Indian Currency and Finance; he also wrote The Economic Consequences
of the Peace, A Short View of Russia, The End of Laissez-Faire and Essays in Biography.
Even The General Theory contained an appendix to chapter 14 on the rate of interest in
Marshall and in Ricardo, and Notes on Mercantilism in chapter 23.
 
BTW, I still haven't found the exact Samuelson citation.  I used to quote it in the first
semester of History of Economic Thought as an example of how economists sometimes hoist
themselves on their own petard.
