capitalist scum

"The Economics Prize is not a Nobel Prize. In 1968, the Bank of Sweden (Sveriges Riksbank) instituted the "Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel", and it has since been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm.""

Taken from the Nobel Foundation website.

All the other prizes were instituted by Alfred Nobel himself: literature, peace, physics, chemistry and medicine/physiology. It's a shame that the Foundation agreed to let these wankers present their economics award alongside the real Nobel laureates.

The Economics Prize is not a Nobel prize.

Well, Nobel was a capitalist who made his pile from dynamite wasn't he? Capitalists aren't necessarily all bad.

true, but I didn't say all capitalists were scum. Although he created the other prizes out of remorse for how dynamite became a tool of violence.
