who's your favourite economist?

François Divisia or Ken Arrow or Paul Samuelson or Satoshi or Ronald Coase etc.... would be easy to defend.

But Graciela Chichilnisky or Bert Balk would be more interesting offbeat choices I could defend. I don't think they got their due for what is coming in mathematical econ.

I would’ve guessed you liked Ken Arrow, Eric. The work for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1972, seems right up your street. Tbh having learnt some of Ken Arrows works in my final year of my economics degree, it completely changed the way I looked at elections + institutions.

He was very supportive of me. If I had to make a single choice it might be him or Samuelson.

Yes, but when I said ‘brightest minds’ I meant it.

Arrow, Frisch, Samuelson, VonNeumann, Nash, Friedman, Smith, Mill, Divisia, Coase, Marshall, Fisher, Debreu, Tinbergen, etc.

I have deep issues with economics. But I don’t think I understand your point.
