Something I've noticed about economists.

In other fields a Nobel prize is a license to criticize something about their discipline or to go 'off base' from their specialty.  It's not a determinative process but not unexpected.

In Economics the recipient of the 'Bank of Sweden Prize in the Memory of Alfred Originated to Shoulder Their Way Into Some of the Prestige of the Real Nobel Prizes©' never seems to do that, in any significant way.  But then I don't follow the careers of recipients of the 'Bank of Sweden Prize in the Memory of Alfred Originated to Shoulder Their Way Into Some of the Prestige of the Real Nobel Prizes©' in any detail so there could be examples I'm overlooking.

Stiglitz might be an example.

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma

Thereby proving my claim since the claim can now be falsified!

(Logic.  Ain't it wonderful?  :-)
