		The lesson is that capitalism which is not limited by civil society institutions, capitalism which is not limited by a legal system, the rule of law, an independent judicial system, the culture and traditions of this country, the trade unions, political parties and social activities - such capitalism turns out to be a wild animal.

	Shri Mataji's Bid for the Nobel Peace Prize
		However, the Norwegian Nobel Institute has informed me that "No one, except the laureate of course, is told they are on the short list." If Shri Mataji really was given information that she was on the short list, then it was a breach of the statutes of the Nobel Foundation.
		This would imply a further breach of the statutes of the Nobel Foundation which hold that there must be no mention "of the contents of discussions relating to choices of candidates for the various awards".
		However, the Norwegian Nobel Institute have assured me that "There is no final list of 3." Thus the evidence suggests that this story, that was passed around at the national leader level and presumably originated with Shri Mataji, was as baseless as Shri Mataji's claims to having been short listed.

		Instead of being restricted to individuals as Nobel intended, "institutions were added in order to appease some of the Swedish opponents of the prize", and, again, deciding that his wishes were impractical, it was determined that the Prize would not be restricted to works undertaken in the previous year.

	Abel Prize Awarded: The Mathematicians' Nobel
		There is no Nobel Prize for mathematics, but many mathematicians have won the prize, most commonly for physics but occasionally for economics, and in one case for literature.
		The Nobel Prize in Economics (as it is popularly, but incorrectly, called) achieved that status after it was introduced in 1968, but in that case the Bank of Sweden, which created the award, attached the magic name Nobel to it.
		It may or may not be true that Nobel wasn't good at math, but there is no evidence to suggest that a negative high school experience in the math class led to a desire to get back at the mathematicians later in life by not giving them one of his prizes.
