Krugman confirmed the irrelevance of the economics prize, but he wasn’t alone. Obama the irrelevance of the peace prize - again, not alone - Kissinger finished that in ‘73. I’m sure that other prizes have been similarly discredited - anons can weigh in.
But the bottom line is that the Nobel prize is like the Oscars and the Golden Globes. So why do we even give these shit shows the time of day?
