Contributions from current set of economists

Every student of economics who is worth his salt has heard of John Maynard Keynes (JMK). JMK's work in this field has had a profound influence on the economic policies of governments till date. Given below is a link to a very good article available on the World Economic Forum's website which presents an overview of the works of nine modern day economists whose ideas are changing the world. Spread over an eclectic mix of topics, some of the big ideas propounded by these economists include:-

• CEO's are rewarded for luck rather than performance.

• Financial collapses don't happen at random and aren't inevitable.

• Austerity measures can actually help economies recover.
