Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The recently deceased Norman Borlaug won the prize for peace. Even though he wan an agricultural engineer. He made forms of corn and wheat that could grow anywhere. He won the prize for peace, becuase when people aren't starving, they're not killing each other. Milton Friedman motivated me the most. He won the prize for economics. His book "Capitalism and Freedom" shaped the way I think of economics.

Alas none of them have motivated me that much. If they had, I would be great physicist, or a notable humanitarian instead of the shmuck that I am. :)

But several have influenced me to a degree.

The life and work of Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman helped to get me turned on to science in general, and fundamental physics in particular. They also influenced how I thought about life and the world in general.

I was also involved in microfinance for a number of years. One of the pioneers of that field was Muhammad Yunus, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in 2006, so you coud say he had a big influence, though an indirect one.

There are also plenty of other that have had some influence on me, ranging from the writers Yeats and Shaw, through organisations like Amnesty International, leaders like Nelson Mandela and Winston Churchill, and economists like Herb Simon, Milton Friedman and Amartya Sen.
