There's no such thing as a Nobel Prize winning economist. Economists got upset that there wasn't a Nobel Prize for them, so came up with The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, and then pretend it's the same thing.

If you read some of the prize winning papers some of them are also hilarious, like how economists discovered that slavery is bad fairly recently.

Damn, I should become a *Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel* prize winning economist.
