Financial Times Person of the Year
The British business newspaper Financial Times each year nominates a "Person of the Year" to the person the newspaper has considered has demonstrated considerable influence in a given year. There appear to have been a number of instances (1971, 1979, 1995) when no person was nominated.[1]
