In 2007, the Economist Herman Daly postulated that the work of Georgescu-Roegen was under-appreciated because he was ahead of his time. In 2012, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New-Delhi, India annonced the first edition of the "Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen Annual Awards" in honor of economist and mathematician, from which Herman Daly is a jury member. Professor Kozo Mayumi, former student of Georgescu-Roegen, has been announced to be the first recipient of the award.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.”
—Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
“It is not true that there is dignity in all work. Some jobs are definitely better than others.... People who have good jobs are happy, rich, and well dressed. People who have bad jobs are unhappy, poor and use meat extenders. Those who seek dignity in the type of work that compels them to help hamburgers are certain to be disappointed.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
