To me, the best economists over the past three centuries are Adam Smith in the 18th century, Karl Marx in the 19th century, and John Maynard Keynes in the 20th century!
1. Who is Adam Smith?
Simply put, Adam Smith is the father of capitalism – He advocated for a “free market” and “free trade” governed by an “invisible hand”.

2. Who is Karl Marx?
Simply put, Karl Marx is the father of communism, but his analysis of capitalism remains the most insightful to date.

3. Who is John Maynard Keynes?
John Maynard Keynes sits between Adam Smith and Karl Marx. So, he was pretty socialistic.
Note: A republic is socialistic by definition, as everything is supposed to be for the “public”. America is no exception.
Now, why is America so confused about socialism and John Maynard Keynes?

4. Discussion
The works of these three economists have stood the test of time, especially with China’s comeback over the past few decades.
China’s comeback requires re-writing the history from 1492 on, especially on politics (Colonialism vs. Communism) and economics – Read the image below.
Moreover, China has the best practice of economics, following the works of these three gigantic economists. In contrast, America has the worst, not even with Adam Smith, from “free market” (American “free market” is a lie) to “free trade” (American “free trade” is a lie!).

5. Karl Marx is the best of the best!
The image below highlights the key difference between China, a country currently guided by Marxism, and America, a country that badly needs some Marxism.
