No current laureate in Economics has contributed more intellectually than Eli Goldratt. Beyond his creation of the Theory of Constraints, Eli has also implemented the theory directly and indirectly, contributing robustness to the world economy. His expansion of the basic theory into applications for Manufacturing, Distribution, Projects and Thinking Processes underscore the broad applicability of TOC. Since Eli is not in the academic world, he may be overlooked as a nominee for the Economics Prize. Henry Camp has started an initiative in order to change that by raising awareness of his achievements and the efficacy of TOC.
