HN Front Page: Foreign Policy Top 100 Global Thinkers (2014)
I pulled a copy of the "global thinkers" list I'd used as an indicator of website salience in a 2015 study.
The HN front page offers a limited opportunity for matches --- titles are 80 characters only, and HN's editorial policy is to not list authors of works, so what will show here is likely a subset of actual mentions.
That said: nearly a quarter of the list (23 entries) appear, from 1 to 11 times each. Paul Krugman (11), Lawrence Lessig (10), and Richard Dawkins (10) top the list.
1 Paul Krugman: 11<br></br> 2 Lawrence Lessig: 10<br></br> 3 Richard Dawkins: 10<br></br> 4 Freeman Dyson: 9<br></br> 5 Daniel Kahneman: 8<br></br> 6 Noam Chomsky: 8<br></br> 7 Jaron Lanier: 6<br></br> 8 Steven Pinker: 5<br></br> 9 Daniel Dennett: 4<br></br> 10 Christopher Hitchens: 2<br></br> 11 Craig Venter: 2<br></br> 12 Edward O. Wilson: 2<br></br> 13 Jared Diamond: 2<br></br> 14 Richard Posner: 2<br></br> 15 Steven Weinberg: 2<br></br> 16 Thomas Friedman: 2<br></br> 17 Gary Becker: 1<br></br> 18 Hernando de Soto: 1<br></br> 19 James Lovelock: 1<br></br> 20 Larry Summers: 1<br></br> 21 Martha Nussbaum: 1<br></br> 22 Peter Singer: 1<br></br> 23 Salman Rushdie: 1<br></br>
