John Paulson is not an economist, he got an mba but you don't go to business school to learn something, you go there to get a passport and connections. Be that as it may, he is definitely not an economist but a hedge fund investor. Taleb is something of an anomaly. He is your prototypical anti-economist. GIven how he rages about economists, I'm surprised to find him on this list. If someone wants to provoke him, send him this page... ;) Roubini is an economist but very definitely not mainstream. The others I don't know.

  > John Paulson is not an economist Why does it matter? Either he's useful or he's not.
