an architect who’s never studied Frank Lloyd Wright;
an educationalist who’s never heard of Maria Montessori;
a literature professor who’s never read Victor Hugo;
a political studies lecturer who’s never studied John Locke…

Especially when his ‘Economic Sophisms’ and much else besides is online in PDF form.
