In a way, isn't dividing the prize 3 ways a slap in the face to Akerlof
and Stiglitz? Stiglitz in particular, I suspect, would have preferred
not to have won this year in the hope of getting an unshared prize.

"Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we
ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught
books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what *they*
thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of
light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the
lustre of the firmament of bards and sages."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
