Great comments! We all have our favorites that we'd like to see on the list but, of all the names I've seen suggested, I am most inclined to agree that George Reisman deserves a mention. I'll add his name to the "honorable mention" list.

Hoppe tenth?

Mein Gott!

Third, surely, behind Mises and Rothbard.

Hayek, of course, was a socialist.

Mariana, Bentham, and Locke should get mentions if not places, and bawerk should probably be on the list.

hazlitt did not make a significant contribution. he "just" introduced austrian economics in the us.

his economics in one lesson is basically a rewrite of bastiats "what is seen and what is not seen".

No Hazzlit?

It Is No Coincidence That The Best Economists Use The Subjectivist Methodology.

First of all I applaud you for identifying the true masters of free market economics.

It is no coincidence that at least six of the ten made their great contributions because they used the subjectivist methodology.

Once subjectivism is investigated it becomes clear that there is only one scientifically valid methodology for studying the human sciences and economics is a human science. Backtracking with that insight to the original quest of finding the top ten free market economists would bring about a need to modify the list. The empiricists would drop out and be replaced by some of the other great free market economists who used the subjectivist methodology.

I was going to say something like what Dante said. Laffer has to drop off the list on the basis of that appearance with Schiff alone.

Very good annotated list! Will eventually reference in my study guide. For students or researchers and esp. all "Austrians": I have just added an Economics Reference List to my economics blog with economic and statistical data series, history, bibliographies etc. for students & researchers, probably the most comprehensive on the Internet. Currently over 200 meta sources, it will soon grow to over a thousand. Check it out and if you miss something, feel free to leave a comment.
