Should I still read old economist?

Should I read books from Milton Friedman, Hayak, Keynes and Von Mises in 2022? Or are these something I shouldn’t read an instead spend my time on newer books in the past 10-15 years?

Reading the old-guard economists is a good exercise I’d say if you want a truly well rounded understanding of the different schools of economics and how they evolved overtime. Is this super necessary in industry or policy work? Not really if you ask me, but it’s a step along the way of becoming an economist.
