Powerful people

Forbes publishes its list of the world's most powerful people.

See : http://www.forbes.com/powerful-people/.

How does one define power ?  This is a ridiculous exercise : it compares totally incomparable people and functions and is - indirectly - another illustration of American arrogance and imperialist thinking.

And what is the practical use of such lists ? Strictly none, except for the fact that it supplies jobs for a small army of analysts. Period.
