    dumbest Nobel price winner

    It bears repeating that there is no Nobel Prize for economics. It’s a fake prize that they added after the fact to add credibility to a fake science.

      The “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel” is awarded by the same committee as the actual Nobel Prizes though, so it’s close.

      But yeah, Nobel explicitly said not to have a prize in economics.

        The prize is real insofar as they award a prize, but it’s a little like if Netflix paid the Motion Picture Academy to award an Oscar for Best Streaming Service.
