Best Economists in History?

[kmiklas]

In your opinion, who is the best economist to watch, listen to, and learn from?

At risk of being hit with rotten tomatoes, I've been watching Powell, and find him to be brilliant--I learn a ton from him.

Who would you recommend to watch/read? Greenspan? Marx? Bernanke? Yellin? Lagarde?

Thx, Keith :^)

Keynes.

Milton Friedman is another name worth the title.

Keynes.

Nope, though he wasn't the worst...that distinction belongs to Paul Krugman.

Don’t ever lose that sense of humor.

Calling Keynes the greatest was enough comedy relief for the day.

Calling Keynes the greatest was enough comedy relief for the day.

Because he had the best resume by far, or because he walked the walk? With his understanding of macro economics, he became rich trading the markets a few minutes each morning before getting on with his busy day. He was more than just an academic.

Greenspan? Marx? Bernanke? Yellin? Lagarde?

Lmao.

I’d advise the ergodic theory of economics :

Otherwise ... The Austrians.
Namely ... Hayek, Von Mises ...

Ray Dalio ?
