διάκριση από το FP
Ιδιαίτερη τιμητική είναι η διάκριση του έγκυρου περιοδικού FOREIGN POLICY, για τον Έλληνα Πρωθυπουργό. Συγκαταλέγεται ανάμεσα στα 100 κορυφαία μυαλά του πλανήτη, που σκέφτονται παγκόσμια, μαζί με τους σημαντικότερους ανθρώπους του πλανήτη (Γουόρεν Μπάφετ, Μπιλ Γκέητς, Ομπάμα, Μπίλ Κλίντον κλπ). Για την ακρίβεια ο τίτλος είναι:
The FP Top 100 Global Thinkers
Foreign Policy presents a unique portrait of 2010's global marketplace of ideas and the thinkers who make them.
"ο κ.Παπανδρέου διένυσε το 2010, λέγοντας σκληρές αλήθειες στους Έλληνες για την αστάθεια του κράτους πρόνοιας" λέει μεταξύ άλλων το περιοδικό.
Αξιοσημειωτο είναι ότι οι 57 από τους 100 της λίστας είναι Εβραίοι, γεγονός που δείχνει την ανωτερότητα των σχετικών γονιδίων (και ναι, υπάρχει ακόμη ο Κίσιγκερ στη λίστα) όπως επίσης η παρουσία του Ελληνοαμερικανού Nicholas Christakis
Να τι γράφει το δημοσίευμα
79. George Papandreou
Papandreou has spent 2010 telling Greeks hard truths about the unsustainable nature of their welfare state -- and sounding an international warning that Greece is the canary in the European coal mine. The Minnesota-born son of a former socialist prime minister, he has rolled out an austerity plan that will raise taxes and rein in the bloated public sector, a package ambitious enough to convince Europe to keep Greece afloat even as it has provoked riots in Athens. And he has argued that the disaster should be a wake-up call for the threat sovereign debt poses far beyond Europe's borders. "It's not an issue of countries acting on their own," he said. "We need a more coordinated strategy not only in Europe but around the world."

for making the best of Greece's worst year.
Prime minister | Greece
Even before the 2008 financial crisis, the Greek economy was running on borrowed time, an ossified system that predictably buckled under the weight of the crash. When George Papandreou took office as Greece's prime minister in October 2009, he found that the budget deficit was not 6 percent, as his predecessor had claimed, but 12.7 percent, four times that allowed by the eurozone's rules. Papandreou has spent 2010 telling Greeks hard truths about the unsustainable nature of their welfare state -- and sounding an international warning that Greece is the canary in the European coal mine. The Minnesota-born son of a former socialist prime minister, he has rolled out an austerity plan that will raise taxes and rein in the bloated public sector, a package ambitious enough to convince Europe to keep Greece afloat even as it has provoked riots in Athens. And he has argued that the disaster should be a wake-up call for the threat sovereign debt poses far beyond Europe's borders. "It's not an issue of countries acting on their own," he said. "We need a more coordinated strategy not only in Europe but around the world."
