I don’t often disagree with the blogfather of all blogfathers, and so I don’t want this to be a disagreement. Maybe a point of ordered disorder.
Anyway, the esteemed Instapundit might have been (gasp!) slightly mistaken when he referred to Knoxville as home to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Had he been reading AgendaBender regularly, he’d doubtless have read that, strictly speaking, there is no Nobel Prize in Economics:
The Economics Prize is not a Nobel Prize. In 1968, the Bank of Sweden (Sveriges Riksbank) instituted the “Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel”, and it has since been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm.
Not in Sweden — and not even in Knoxville!
A minor point, and I can’t imagine why I would be thinking about such a dry and boring subject at this late hour…..
What’s come over me, anyway?
