Thanks for posting, I'll add:

Ronald H. Coase, Founding Scholar in Law and Economics, 1910-2013.

He was a giant.

From your article:

Coase said in 2012 that his main scholarly talent was to identify solutions that were in plain sight.

“I’ve never done anything that wasn’t obvious, and I didn’t know why other people didn’t do it,” he said. “I’ve never thought the things I did were so extraordinary.”

This is typical of truly great people, and there are very few great people responsible for actually changing the world. He had a lot of smarts, and some great genes.
