   If I had to name a four and fifth then those certainly would be Friedman and Coase. Then Ricardo. The economic sociologist Marx would also then figure. You drop off a cliff after that in terms of thinkers in economics after that. At present there are no deep thinkers in the profession.

   A list that does not include Milton Friedman in top 3 is not serious.

   Arrow, of course. Adam Smith, Arrow, and Keynes would be the top three.

   Arrow had SHlT-For-Brains. Smith? Maybe in 1770 when there was no competition.

   And Keynes? Just an over-hyped blowhard and big dummy.

   Milton's work has been irrefutably proven to be BS by Krugman, Macpherson, and others. The only place he belongs is in the ash-heap of forgotten history.

   ^Why does Newton figure the way he does in physics - because of his contribution to quantum mechanics?

   Who the hell is Krugman compared to Friedman ?

   Get your facts right. Milton Friedman is a couple of size bigger than Krugman the Socialist!

   Good grief, if you knew anything about Newton or physics, you would be thoroughly embarrassed by this bit of dumbness.

   Depends if you are a neo- classic/Keynesian or Keynesian.

   Have an understanding of what is meant by the term thinker. If I had to include the name of the first great technocrats of economics, I would also say Debreu and Samuelson (maybe even McKenzie), but that's not we are talking about here.

    I do know more about physics than you, and know where Newton figures in the history of science

    Says the first year grad student. I remember of a conversation I had with Ravikumar over a drink way back when I used to go to the ASSA, and he said he was reading Adam Smith and thinking about all these insights Smith had which were so relevant today
