RE: but he’ll always be a Nobel prize winner.

Is that an honor nowadays? Notice the company he belongs to — Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, Yaser Arafat, Paul Krugman ( just to mention a few )

There are Nobel prizes in REAL accomplishments - e.g., physics, medicine.

There are Nobel prizes which are worth as much as a Cracker Jack “prize” - literature, peace, and yes (in many cases) economics.

You are confusing the Nobel Peace Prize - political garbage awarded by the Norweigians - with the Nobel Prizes bestowed by Scandinavian committees in recognition of cultural and scientific advances. (Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics.)
