Just a quick note: The Nobel prize in economics is not actually a "real" Nobel prize. It's called "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" and was instituted by the Swedish Central bank in 1968, 73 years after Alfred Nobel's will. Apparently, Nobel wanted to promote real sciences and some people couldn't accept that. A few laureates (including Hayek) have protested the prize.
