And Scotland is not a modern day country, so he could not have been selected there. Now, technically, he could not have been taken for "Great Britain" either, as that's an island, not a nation

But it's not an independent nation. It's considered part of the UK, which people in the draft and voting will shorthand as England I'm sure.

I don't give a shit. :P I have Scottish blood myself and my last name is believed to be a corruption of an originally Scottish name. It's part of the UK in modern times. Deal.

The more I look at Karl Marx, the more I think it's the best pick so far. Not only is he the author of Das Capital, one of the most important economic books ever, but he is also one of the heavy hitters in on the field altogether. It's like he's doing double duty.
The only concern I have is that some voters may see him in economics and think he should be somewhere else.

Galbraith was THE American economist from the 50's - 70's. Served in like 4-5 administrations, 2 Presidential Medal's of Freedom
John Kenneth "Ken" Galbraith, OC (October 15, 1908 – April 29, 2006) was a Canadian-American economist. He was a Keynesian and an institutionalist, a leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism and progressivism. His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950s through the 1970s and he filled the role of public intellectual in this period on matters of economics. Galbraith was a prolific author who produced four dozen books and over a thousand articles on various subjects. Among his most famous works was a popular trilogy on economics, American Capitalism (1952), The Affluent Society (1958), and The New Industrial State (1967). He taught at Harvard University for many years. Galbraith was active in politics, serving in the administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson; and among other roles served as United States Ambassador to India under Kennedy. He was one of the few honorees who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice. He received one in 1946 from President Truman and another in 2000 from President Bill Clinton.[1] He was also awarded the Order of Canada in 1997[2] and, in 2001, the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award, for his contributions to strengthening ties between India and the United States

Although the pick is a total WTF is that, I'm annoyed that the US is cockblocked economically. I had some backup choices planned for economist there.

I would have saved Galbraith in my back pocket as a Canadian for next round and let someone else cockblock the USA in economics. Of course, he might have been on other people's radar, so ymmv

Many think the roots of the current economic recession is a result of Greenspan's policies. I wouldn't have wanted to walk into that.

One of the approaches of this draft would be to draft a group that would make a great nation. By that rational I think the Marx pick is suspect. As a pick for best in category i think it's the best one I hope some people take a chance and gets creative with their econ pick |

That's a very good point and admittedly, that's partly my strategy, in that I'm creating a nation that I myself would love to have. Of course, I'm going to have to get -real- creative with Econ.

2.7 Jim Brown - Athlete - 20th Century - USA
"If you thought Walter Payton was good, you should've seen Jim Brown." When a Hall of Fame running back who is arguably one of the greatest of all time is dismissed in mention of another player, that second man must truly stand as one of the greats of all time. But not only was he a football great, a punishing runner who also kicked extra points, he was a world-class athlete in lacrosse, and as, wikipedia notes, he excelled in basketball and track as well. Although many of his records would later be passed by those with longer careers, he remains the 8th leading rusher of all time and is still the Browns' leading rusher. The most impressive fact of this? He retired when he was just 29 years old. Truly an athletic champion in every sense of the word.
