The Revere Award for Economics is named in honour of the American revolutionary hero Paul Revere, who road through the night to warn of the approaching British army. In this its inagural year, it will be awarded to the 3 economists who first and most clearly saw the Gobal Financial Collapse coming and whose work is most likely to prevent another GFC in the future.
96 people were nominated for the prize. Through consultation with contributors to the Real-World Economics Review Blog, the following shortlist of twelve economists has been selected for the ballot: Dean Baker , Wynne Godley , Michael Hudson, Steve Keen, Paul Krugman, Jakob Brøchner Madsen, Ann Pettifor, Kurt Richebächer , Nouriel Roubini, Robert Shiller, George Soros and Joseph Stiglitz .
To help inform your choices, two integrated timelines, “Foresight and Fait Accompli ” have been compiled, one of the 12 candidates’ anticipations and warnings of the GFC and the other of the GFC’s actual emergence. You are urged to look here at the timelines before voting. http://rwer.wordpress.com/foresight-and-fait-accompli-two-timelines-for-the-global-financial-collapse/

Procedures
As with the Dynamite Prize, which attracted over 7,500 mostly economist voters, the ballot will be conducted by PollDaddy. Its system uses cookies to prevent repeat voting. A voting box showing the short-listed candidates and a link to their dossiers will remain till voting closes near the top of the right-hand column on the home page of the Real-World Economics Review Blog . Voting is open to all interested parties. Each voter can vote for up to three of the listed candidates. The ballots are secret. Voting will remain open for several weeks. No results will be announced before closing the poll.
