A brief list oldies. Others can doubtless add to this.
Newman, Gayer, and Spencer, Source Readings in Economic Thought (Norton, 1954).
Rima, Readings in the History of Economic Theory.(1970).
Abbott, Masterworks of Economics 3 (slim) vols. (1973).
Patterson, Readings in the History of Economic Thought (1932).
Louis, Readings in the History of Economic Thought (1971)
A.E. Monroe has a couple of different volumes, dealing with pre-Smithian literature.
I used to have several more of these, but I left them behind when moving from Denver to NC a few years back.
FYI, a second (revised) edition of the Medema and Samuels reader was published in 2013 and includes a few new pieces, including from the post-WWII literature.

Thank you Javier, not what I'm looking for indeed but great resource.
And yes, out of print books are of interest too (they can sometimes be consulted on the internet and indeed in libraries), thanks.

Subject: [SHOE] Readers in HET
Dear colleagues,
I am looking for readers/anthologies in the history of economic thought, that is compilations of texts by important economists (primary readings, not secondary literature), either general (texts by the most important economic writers of all time, i.e. a good text-book to accompany a general HET course), or of particular periods, regions, schools of thought or by subject, and in any language.
I am aware of the volume edited by Steven Medema and Warren Samuels (The History of Economic Thought: A Reader, 2003), which is a great general anthology, and a volume about development economics edited by Marc Edelman and Angelique Haugerud (The Anthropology of Development and Globalization: From Classical Political Economy to Contemporary Neoliberalism, 2005).
Are there other such (in labour economics, monetary economics, etc., etc., or just general economics)?
Best regards,
Jérôme
