Anyway, Reuvain’s question got me to thinking: What if unlimited posthumous economic Nobel awards were possible? Who are the ten now-dead, non-laureate economists who I believe would be most deserving. My idiosyncrasies will be evident in my list:
- Adam Smith (of course, and not just because his is the single most famous name in all of economics)
- David Ricardo
- Carl Menger
- Alfred Marshall
- Ludwig von Mises
- Frank Knight
- Aaron Director
- Armen Alchian
- Gordon Tullock
- Julian Simon
