================= HES POSTING ================= 
 
I have received a request from a researcher at Princeton University 
(working on notions of popular social science) for a list of the most 
important/influential U.S. economists of this century--as well as a 
rationale for choosing them. For example, their influence might be 
measured by their impact on public policy, on popular ideas about the 
economy, or on political institutions. 
 
I thought subscribers to HES might enjoy constructing and debating such a 
list! 
 
The researcher gave her permission to post this request, and I will pass 
all entries on to her.
