Why does the list not include economists like Amartya Sen of Harvard University, also a Nobel prize winning economist whose career is devoted to promoting well - being particularly among the world's poor (he had an op - ed a couple of days ago in the NY Times re: the
food crisis); or Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University, also a former World Bank chief economist and Nobel prize winner who is critical of the
globalized free market apparatus run by the World Bank, the IMF and the WTO; or Herman Daley of the University of Maryland, also a former economist at the World Bank whose career is devoted to developing a sustainable
economy within the ecological constraints of our environment.
