Heavy with academics,...which is not to diminish their contributions, but people who actually influence and run (or have run) economic policy in several big treasuries and central banks are missing ....no Mario Draghi, Mark Carney, Janet Yellen...Bernanke is waaaay down in #51 ....Greenspan set in motion a series of events that led to the financial meltdown of 2008 (good intention, sound theory, didn't account for greed and corruption) ..not a mention. Varoufakis at #18 there should probably be near the top cause of his pitched battle with the ECB while trying to save the Greek economy as well as his depth of academic achievements ....
Circling round to local economics, anything Dr Paul Njoroge does, or any of the policy wonks at the Treasury will likely have a more immediate and probably long-term effect compared to theoretical postulations by Ndii .....

Applause Applause Applause Take a bow Dr Ndii, that is exalted company you share.

I am however surprised that there are no Chinese/Asian names on that list, surely someone has to have done something right in China and Asia in General, how do they explain their growth (I know intellectual theft is one but there is more)

The introduction says that the data is based on social media contributions....Twitter, Facebook, etc. You can actually add your name in the richtopia database and start twitting regularly.... Next year you will be in the list.

I remember his academic postulation that reviving the old line at a fraction of the SGR cost would have been sound, then I remember RVR consortium and their trial and error since 2005 and still no result up until today. Moral of my boring story: Experience trumps academics anyday.

Would it kill you to acknowledge that regardless of method used to derive the list, its quite something to be included in top 100 list of anything in the world?

There's just too much bile in the world.
