Posted on | December 2, 2009 | No Comments

MKFC Stockholm College is based in Sweden and we are very proud of Swedish Professor Hans Rosling who made it as number 96 on the Magazine Foreign Policies top 100 lists of thinkers that have shaped the world this year.

Hans Rosling is a professor in International Health and one of the founders of Gapminder Foundation that works to make statistics understandable and easy to use.

This is an example of his pedagogical skills when he talks at TEDIndia and graphs global economic growth since 1858 and predicts the exact date that India and China will outstrip the US.

Ben Bernanke chief of the U.S. central bank tops the list while United States President Barack Obama comes second.
