FINANCIAL ENGINEERS
Financial engineers don't wear white lab coats. They don't experiment on rats or perform gas chromatography. Their raw material – money – isn't as jazzy as what biologists and physicists investigate. But the innovations they produce will contribute just as much to economic growth.

Ideas begin to contribute to human betterment when they're financed – by venture capital, stock offerings, loans, or buyouts. A smoothly operating system showers money on good ideas.
