“A Nobel prize in economics implies that the human world operates much like the physical world: that it can be described and understood in neutral terms, and that it lends itself to modelling, like chemical reactions or the movement of the stars. It creates the impression that economists are not in the business of constructing inherently imperfect theories, but of discovering timeless truths.”-Photo: Jasper Rietman
In May 2015 at the Annual General Meeting of the World Congress of Faiths, which was held at London School of Economics, I delivered a keynote speech on “The Value of Values to Build a World for the Common Good” I discussed different issues and when in particular I tried as a “Recovered” economist, who has seen the light and hopefully is now wiser than before, shed some light on what economics was and what it has become: Economics, Globalisation and the Common Good: A Lecture at London School of Economics
That was then. And now : The Big, Exciting News of the week- just in case you are not aware is that the winner of the Sveriges Riksbank prize in economic science in memory of Alfred Nobel, as it is officially called, is going to be announced on Monday 12 October 2015.
After eight years in which many of the pillars of economic theory have been swept away by a financial tsunami that went largely unpredicted by the majority of practitioners and teachers of the “dismal science”, it may be hard to believe anyone deserves to be awarded a Nobel prize in the subject.
