Economics Is The Theory Of Choice

MORE THAN MARKETS, MIDDLE DISTANCE CHAMPION, THE MODEL FOR ARCHIE, BILLY FISH

Douglas North was the co-winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Economics, along with Robert Fogel for his work in economic history and the importance of institutions. In his work, he emphasized that economics was more than markets, and he analyzed why some countries developed economically more quickly than others. Mal Whitfield was one of the great postwar middle distance runners. In 1954, he became the first African-American winner of the Sullivan Award. Warren Mitchell was the British actor who created the role of Alf Garnett in the long-running television sitcom Till Death Us Do Part. It is the show Norman Lear based All In The Family on, and Mitchell’s Alf Garnett was the inspiration for Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker. Saeed Jaffrey was the outstanding Indian actor who is best known in the United States for his role as Billy fish opposite Michael Caine and Sean Connery in John Huston’s masterpiece, “The Man Who Would Be King” (1975).

Douglass Cecil North (November 5, 1920 – November 23, 2015) was an American economist known for his work in economic history. He was the co-recipient (with Robert William Fogel) of the 1993 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. In the words of the Nobel Committee, North and Fogel were awarded the prize "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change."

Warren Mitchell (born Warren Misell; 14 January 1926 – 14 November 2015) was an English actor. He was a BAFTA TV Award winner and twice a Laurence Olivier Award winner.
In the 1950s, Mitchell appeared on the radio programme Educating Archie and television's Hancock's Half Hour. In the 1960s, he rose to prominence in the role of bigoted cockney Alf Garnett in the BBC television sitcom Till Death Us Do Part (1965–75), created by Johnny Speight, which won him a Best TV Actor BAFTA in 1967. He reprised the role in the TV sequels Till Death... (ATV, 1981) and In Sickness and in Health (BBC, 1985–92), and in the films Till Death Us Do Part (1969) and The Alf Garnett Saga (1972).

Saeed Jaffrey, OBE (Punjabi: ਸਈਦ ਜਾਫ਼ਰੀ, Urdu: سعید جعفری; Hindi: सईद जाफ़री; 8 January 1929 – 15 November 2015) was an Indian-born British actor whose versatility and fluency in multiple languages[2] allowed him to straddle radio, stage, television and film in a career that spanned over six decades and more than a hundred and fifty British, American and Indian movies.
He was able to breathe life into the smallest of roles through intense preparation and a nuanced performance, like that of the translator and guide Billy Fish in The Man Who Would Be King (1975), an act that brought him international attention.[4] His seductive, resonant voice[5] combined with a gift for mimicry and a sharp ear for accents[6] made him the natural choice as narrator for audio books. His narration of the Kama Sutra titled The Art of Love (1996) was listed by Time magazine as "one of the five best spoken word records ever made".[7] He voiced all 86 characters in the 1997 BBC World Service broadcast of Vikram Seth's novel, A Suitable Boy.

During the 1980s and 1990s he was considered to be Britain's highest-profile Asian actor, thanks to his leading roles in the movie My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) and television series Tandoori Nights (1985–1987) and Little Napoleons (1994).
He played an instrumental part in bringing together film makers James Ivory and Ismail Merchant[4][9][10] and acted in several of their Merchant Ivory Productions films such as The Guru (1969), Hullabaloo Over Georgie and Bonnie's Pictures (1978), The Courtesans of Bombay (1983) and The Deceivers (1988).
He broke into Bollywood with Satyajit Ray's Shatranj Ke Khilari (1977) for which he won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award in 1978. His cameo role as the paanwala Lallan Miyan in Chashme Buddoor (1981) won him popularity with Indian audiences.[11] He became a household name in India with his roles in Raj Kapoor's Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985) and Henna (1991), both of which won him nominations for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award.[12][13]
He was the first Asian to receive British and Canadian film award nominations. In 1995 he was awarded an OBE in recognition of his services to drama, the first Asian to receive this honour.[14][15] His memoirs, Saeed: An Actor's Journey, were published in 1998.
