Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine are running a poll. Given that everyone on the list is smarter than I am, it seems a little silly to sit above them and pick the five smartest. But it’s fun. So….

My five:

Mario Vargas Llosa
Bjorn Lomborg
Steven Pinker
Gary Becker

And my write-in candidate:

David Friedman.

If I could have more than one write-in, I’d have probably substituted Milton Friedman for Lomborg, and Randy Barnett for Vargas-Llosa.
