Gorbachev was (in part) reacting, but he was reacting to a lot more than just Reagan. If Reagan influenced the end of the Cold War (and he probably did), it is generally recognized; but that he was standing on the shoulders of metaphorical giants is only more dimly sensed. Title: Re: Persons of the Decade. Post by: 12th Doctor on June 01, 2008, 10:22:12 PM What makes Churchill and Gorby different in their "reactiveness" is that Churchill saw what was coming, bucked the trends of the time, and successfully set a new course for history. Gorby was put in place because of what had already happened, reacted to the trends of history, and unsuccessfully tried to hold back progress.

But Chirchill would never have been anyone important (and I mean on a world scale) without Chamberlain and Hitler. I agree that a change was inevitable after Brezhnev and Andropov and Chernenko (the whole process has reminded me of a papal conclave), but Gorbachev was an important figure in his own right. Imagine if Volodymyr Schcherbytsky had been elevated. Things would have turned out very differently.

1900s: Five Way between Einstein, Freud, Marconi and the Wright Brothers. I think I was going to throw Nelson Rockefeller and Thomas Edison in as well, but he would be more 1880s-90s. Probably the toughest. 1910s: Vladimir Illich Lenin (The only one of which I'm sure of) 1920s: Henry Ford, Edward Bernays, Walter Gropius.. Another toughie. 1930s: Joseph Goebbels, John Maynard Keynes 1940s: Robert Oppenheimer 1950s: Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, Crick & Watson 1960s: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. (This is also very hard) 1970s: 1980s: Milton Friedman 1990s: Tim Berners Lee 2000s: Osama Bin Laden (Will probably change once the long lasting fashions separate from the fads and a clear historical perspective begins to emerge.) I'm stuck on the 70s (and I really don't want to pick Nixon or Kissinger, though I have no US president in there and if I was pick one it would probably be Nixon - or Wilson but Lenin is already taken.).. I'm trying to think of cultural stuff, but that was never embodied by one person (where to begin would be another problem.. the 70s was a bonzanza of cultural icons but not one 'big one') , don't know lots about the science of this period.. Other problems aswell. And yes I know I didn't pick Hitler or Stalin I must be the only one. Title: Re: Persons of the Decade.

I agree with the first half of the list more than the latter half, which seems too Amero-centric (10 Americans overall, incl. 4 Presidents) which I suppose though is to be expected here. A heavy focus on political leaders (again, I suppose to be expected here) rather than scientists, economists, philosophers or other thinkers. Title: Re: Persons of the Decade.
