Clarivate just released its list of most 'highly cited researchers' in economics and business.

The main thing notable about this list is how you've never heard of anyone on it.  

Despite 'economics and business' being a subject that is immediately relevant to most people's lives, no one in the real world consumes any of the content these academics generate. 

The academics on this list (some of whom I know personally) generally blame the lack of sophistication of those "in industry" for their disinterest in business research output.
