No Nobel prize in economics

Invader_Zimmy

Why do people say that this or that person won the Nobel prize in economics? There is no such thing. Pisses me off that Paul Krugman is called a Nobel prize winner. The great inventor Alfred Nobel is turning in his grave.

Yes, as you can see, clearly it is not a Nobel prize.

Why would he be turning in his grave?

His original will never said anything about a prize in economics. Now calling it a Nobel prize is just like spreading fecal matter on his grave. :mad:

That is VERY upsetting, OP. I can see why you're frustrated and angry.

Hopefully this misrepresentation gets the attention it deserves and these deceitful charlatans are exposed.

I find it rather ironic that someone that comes out with statements such as those quoted below, asks why others are ignorant.

...it is a known fact that African migrants often are involved in serious criminal activity. Perhaps this caused the backlash? Please do not accuse me of being a racist, call me a realist.

Why is it that most Polish men shave their heads, take steroids, and get involved in street fights all of the time?

Would you like to live with black people in your area? I'd prefer not to as evidence suggests this is likely to cause white flight and house prices to plummet. Now I am not a racist, once I helped a black female carry her trolly with her mulatto child up some stairs into her flat.

I have my facts straight. Look at the prison population in the US.

Read up on the phenomenon of white flights.

If you actually have any interest in the subject of coercive confinement of Afro-Americans in the US I suggest you study the works of Loic Wacquant on the subject, it might just lessen your obvious ignorance on the matter.
