I'd say he will be the most influential economist of both centuries. For those who don't who he is, the man is a fantastic public speaker on top of everything and there are a ton of videos on YouTube to get you familiarized.
I highly recommend the video series "Free to Choose", regardless of your politics or background in economics there is something to be learned from it.
Sadly, you mean "was".
No, I mean will. The 21st century isn't over yet.
Well, he's dead now, which I'm pretty sure is what raldi was getting at :-)
Do you even know when the 19th century was? How can he be the most influential Economist of the 19th century if was only born in 1912?
The two centuries mentioned are the 20th and 21st.
people edited their posts without signing their changes.
Actually, they didn't.
To be fair though, I think that almost everyone has made a few off-by-one errors.
