Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel winning economist. There’s no such thing as a Nobel Prize In Economics, and economists were upset by this and made their own prize with a complicated name that the media would shorten and muddle with a real Nobel Prize.
what actually happened was that alfred nobel was completely devastated by the death and destruction his inventions wrought, and pledged that all of the money from them should go to people who help humanity.
which alno explains why there is no nobel prize in economics :P

Blatantly copied from https://lemmy.world/comment/17961073
came to say this,
Nobel price of economics is BS for bankers and rich finance people to promote their propaganda.
Some would say the Nobel itself is also BS.
Nobel: “dear rich folk, we need to do more kind shot for the peasants. I say, we should do a contest and he who does the goodest deed, gets a prize”
Rich: “But Nobel, what should this prize be?”
Nobel: “Well Gold and money, and also we get to flaunt it on the peasants so they can see how magnanimous we are”
How it probably happened… I dunno, wasn’t there.
