92 years old (Born on October 26, 1932)
Happy Birthday, Manfred Max Neef! Another year wiser and still brilliantly redefining economics—proving once again that GDP stands for "Greatly Deserves Partying." Your human development model continues to inspire us all; clearly, your theory of fundamental needs includes cake, laughter, and good company!We haven't forgotten your impressive run in Chile's 1993 presidential election. Fourth place never looked so distinguished! While others chased votes, you pursued sustainability and compassion—a true economist who knows the real value lies beyond numbers. Here's wishing you a birthday filled with joy as abundant as your contributions to humanity (and hopefully fewer charts)!
