[Dan Bourdreaux at a related website, Cafe Hayek, offers his nominees](http://cafehayek.com/2014/02/who-should-we-revere.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

> $5 bill: John D. Rockefeller, Sr., for being such a pioneering and innovative producer.

> $10 bill: Gustavus Swift, for being such a pioneering and innovative producer.
