Frederic Bastiat, author of Economic Harmonies, criticised by Karl Marx.
Oops I googled to check if I got it correct. To my great surprise, I as a
naive young socialist was one day accosted in New Zealand by a woman  who
actually tried to sell me a copy of one of Bastiat's texts, in the street. I
had only read Marx's critique of Bastiat, not Bastiat himself, and declined
the offer, suspecting a "petty-bourgeois sect". Big mistake for an aspiring
heterodox socialist.
