Joseph Noonan asked: That would certainly be fun, but the Economics prize is funded by some Swiss bank(s), isn't it? I mean, it's not a *real* Nobel Prize, is it? Alfred didn't set it up and I don't believe his legacy pays for it. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. -- It is funded by the Swedish central bank (their FED). It was not set up by Alfred. In fact, when it was suggested to him he said there could be no prize in economics because econ was an ideology not a science. Pretty astute for a chemist. Doug Orr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
