[PEN-L:497] Re: "Nobel" prize in Econ.
Joseph Noonan asked:
That would certainly be fun, but the Economics prize is funded by some
Swiss bank(s), isn't it? I mean, it's not a *real* Nobel Prize, is
it? Alfred didn't set it up and I don't believe his legacy pays for
it.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
--
It is funded by the Swedish central bank (their FED). It was not set
up by Alfred. In fact, when it was suggested to him he said there
could be no prize in economics because econ was an ideology not a science.
Pretty astute for a chemist.
