The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential
Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H.
Hart, reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a
ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart,
most influenced human history. [1]
The first person on Hart's list is the Prophet of
Islam Muhammad .[2] Hart asserted that
Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both
the religious and secular realms. He also
believed that Muhammad's role in the
development of Islam was far more influential
than Jesus' collaboration in the development of
Christianity . He attributes the development of
Christianity to St. Paul , who played a pivotal role
in its dissemination.
The 1992 revisions included the demotion of
figures associated with Communism, such as
Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong , and the
introduction of Mikhail Gorbachev . Hart took
sides in the Shakespearean authorship issue
and substituted Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of
Oxford for William Shakespeare . Hart also
substituted Niels Bohr and Henri Becquerel with
Ernest Rutherford, thus correcting an error in the
first edition. Henry Ford was also promoted from
the "Honorary Mentions" list, replacing Pablo
Picasso. Finally, some of the rankings were re-
ordered, although no one listed in the top ten
changed position.
Hart wrote another book in 1999, entitled A View
from the Year 3000, [3] voiced in the perspective
of a person from that future year and ranking the
most influential people in history. Roughly half of
those entries are fictional people from 2000–
3000, but the remainder are actual people. These
were taken mostly from the 1992 edition, with
some re-ranking of order.
