New game: name some 1900s era economists who deserve a Nobel Prize but never got one.

Here are three:

  • Keynes
  • Pigou
  • Fisher

Keynes for very, very obvious reasons.

Pigou because of his work on the wealth/Pigou effect and his work on externalities. We still discuss and debate Pigouvian taxes today.

Fisher for his work on consumption, his work on interest rates and his work on inflation and deflation. The man was 30 years ahead of macroeconomics - he even investigated the Phillips Curve!

  • Mises

  • Robinson

Tversky would have shared with Kahneman, if he didn't die.

You think Thaler will get a Nobel? He worked with both of them.

Wicksell deserved a Nobel more than Keynes.

Saying Keynes should have a Nobel is equal to advocating for yellow stars and industrial-grade showers.

And yet you deny that West Coast = Best Coast. Our SHITTY coffee became the national standard!

Not the entire west coast is great but I agree with you. Pacific Northwest is the best.

I'd be interested to know where people sit on issues other than economics. So, I think I'll ask a couple of questions to get a general gist.

  • Favourite philosopher?

  • Atheist or religious? (God help you if you try and tell me you're an agnostic).

  • Morality: objective or subjective?

  • Some cultures are superior to others; A/D?

  • Hawkish or doveish on foreign policy?

  • Iran nuclear deal? Yay or nay?

  • ISIS: motivated by Islam or secular grievances?

  • Mass collection of metadata: yay or nay?

  • Sociology isn't a science: A/D?

My own answers, for anybody who cares:

  • Nietzsche.

  • Atheist.

  • Objective.

  • Agree.

  • Hawkish.

  • Nay.

  • Islam.

  • Yay.

  • Agree (obviously).
