Timeline of Famous Economists

Below is a timeline of famous economists organised by their date of birth. Beside each of them is a label that classifies them as (Neo-)Classical, Monetarist or Keynesian. Clicking on the label will take you to some more information about that group of economists, and clicking on the economists themselves will take you to some information about the work they did and the policies they recommended.

* Hayek is often associated with Monetarists because of the nature of his views on money supply, but he disagreed with Friedman over many aspects of macroeconomics and methodology. We have classified him as a Monetarist here for simplicity.
