	Visioning Brasil 2020 by Hazel Henderson
		The 2005 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economics (in Memory of Alfred Nobel) was recently announced.
		In 2004, when the Bank of Sweden Prize was awarded to two more economists of the Chicago School, Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott for their 1970 paper (using a lot of fancy mathematics) purporting to prove why central banks should be free of political oversight – many mathematicians finally revolted.
		The latest Bank of Sweden prizewinners Aumann and Schelling are masterful researchers of human behavior and many of the games people and institutions play – even though, like economists, they focused mostly on conflict and competition.

	Economic Principals
		The proper title of the award is the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economics in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
		The Economics Prize was established in 1968, and given for the first time the following year (to pioneer econometricians Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen).
		The prize for literature was to be an internal matter among the littérateurs of the Swedish Academy.

	Nobel Prize in Economics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Economics has also been regarded as a non-experimental science, where researchers – as in astronomy or meteorology – have had to rely exclusively on field data, that is, direct observations of the real world.
		The first experiments in economics were aimed at testing what is perhaps the most fundamental result in economic theory: under perfect competition, the market price establishes an equilibrium between supply and demand at the level, where the value assigned to a good by a marginal buyer is as high as that of a marginal seller.
		Economic theory relies on the assumption that economic agents may be likened to a "homo oeconomicus".

	The Sometimes Dismal Nobel Prize in Economics
		The prize was tacked on to the original awards in 1969 as a marketing ploy on behalf of Sweden's central bank.
		The name of the economics laureate, for example, is engraved on the edge of the golden medal instead of on the front as is done with those of the other laureates.
		In recent years, administrators of the economics prize have taken to joking that "all the mighty firs have fallen; now there are only bushes left" - implying that economics is so shallow a subject that every truly deserving candidate has already won the prize and only second-rate contenders remain.

	Beautiful Mind, Ugly Deception:
		Against this taken-for-granted 'fact', I am arguing here that this prize does not exist: and moreover, that this so-called 'Nobel prize' is an extraordinary case study in the successful transformation of economic capital into symbolic capital, a transformation which greatly inflates the symbolic power of the discipline of Economics in the public mind.
		This is a socio-logical consequence of the fact that the legitimacy bestowed by the Nobel prize is rapidly put to use in the public space to voice ideas that the winner would not have dared to submit were he or she a 'simple scientist'.
		Though the effect of scarcity applies to the value of economic as well as symbolic capital, the credibility of the Foundation may already be affected by association with the Bank of Sweden and the economists.

	Economists as Advocates
		Since the 2004 Nobel Prize awards, there has been increasingly public brouhaha around demands by scientists that the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Science in Memory of Alfred Nobel be clearly differentiated from the Nobel awards.
		They were buttressed by their claims that economics with its increasing use of mathematical models, had matured into a science, matching the feats of natural sciences since Newton and Darwin in discovering the laws of nature.
		In 1969 the Bank of Sweden put up $1 million (US) to create a prize to confer scientific status and legitimacy on the academic discipline and policy advocacy of the economics profession.

		Economics is now so sick that even members of its inter-sanctum publicly admit it.
		But in contemporary mainstream economics, the tools are often in the driver's seat, declaring evident facts impossible and reducing the subtleties of the real world to whatever clockwork economists best know how to build.
		Economics has increasingly become an intellectual game played for its own sake and not for its practical consequences for understanding the economic world.

	George Akerlof a Winner of 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics
		George A. Akerlof, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, was named the 2001 co-winner of the Nobel Prize in economic sciences today (10/10/01).
		Since joining UC Berkeley’s economics department in the College of Letters and Science as an assistant professor in 1966, Akerlof has been recognized for his research that borrows from sociology, psychology, anthropology and other fields to determine economic influences and outcomes.
		UC Berkeley colleague and fellow Nobelist McFadden said Akerlof’s receipt of the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel resulted from what amounted to a revolution in the understanding of what makes markets work, a revolution that was led by Akerlof.

		The award for economics came almost 70 years later—bootstrapped to the Nobel in 1968 as a bit of a marketing ploy to celebrate the Bank of Sweden's 300th anniversary.
		The Prize in Economics also happens to be experiencing some of the same growing pains as the profession itself.
		Meanwhile, economics is classified with other “soft” social sciences at the Academy, which have struggled within the larger scientific community to attain the reputation of their “harder” peers (also a matter of considerable debate among economists and scientists in other fields).

	Nobel Memorial Prizes in Economics
		In 1969, the Swedish central bank (Sveriges Riskbank) established a prize known as the "Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel", which is commonly shortened to the Nobel Memorial Prize.
		However, it is precisely because of the erratic and disproportionate "impact" the Bank of Sweden's choice has upon the profession and the shape of subsequent economics research that many have called for an end to the Nobel Memorial Prize.
		The Bank of Sweden's Nobel Memorial prize for economics is announced around October 12th of every year, while the actual ceremony (shared with the original Nobel awards) is on December 8th.

		And without a doubt, the field of economics has gotten a lot of mileage out of the fact that it is the only social science field in which there is a Nobel Prize, which puts economics right alongside real sciences like physics and chemistry.
