----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- In reply to Roy Weintraub: Sraffa (1960) is one relatively more recent, canonical text. Obviously, there are canonical texts for certain 'areas'; Caldwell's _Beyond Positivism_ is one example. Others, reflecting my own idiosyncrasies, would be works such as Kaldor's Economics without Equilibrium and Lowe's On Economic Knowledge. (I know you asked what a 20th c. reader would look like, but I was first more interested in whether there are any more recent canonical texts.)
