Top Shelf Thinkers

You can select your choices for the Top Five Living Intellectuals here (via Professor Night Train) from a list of one hundred names. You can also submit a person that you feel has been unjustly excluded from the list. My votes went to:

Pope Benedict XVI
Hernando De Soto
Bernard Lewis
Jagdish Bhagwati
Vaclav Havel

The absence of William F. Buckley, Milton Friedman, and historian Paul Johnson as possible choices is simply inexcusable, especially when the likes of Paul Krugman made the list.
