and calling it one should be an infractable offense.
As an econ prof, I am going to make it an infractable offense to doubt its Nobelity ))
It's official name is the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
That said, economics is not the only addition that would be worthy to the pantheon of Nobel and quasi-Nobel prizes.
Architecture, Agriculture, Cinema, and Mathematics would all be worthy additions.
Mathematics almost made the cut too. Sort of silly not to include it, ultimately.
