Economics is just a shit prize, it devalues the rest of the prizes, and should never been allowed to be awarded among the others.
The litterature prize started as a good idea, but these days it has lost a lot of presteige, just looks back at when Bob Dylan was forced to get the prize.
He didn't want the prize, but the organizers still awarded him the prize, looking like a weirdly obsessive fan club.
