"Clifford Stoll being sceptical about online shopping, which is basically how everyone buys stuff now: "We’re promised instant catalogue shopping–just point and click for great deals. We’ll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts.
Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet—which there isn't—the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.""

Levy,
Ray is right. It's called "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel". Alfred Nobel did not established a price for economics in his will only for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.

Woody,
Paul Krugman has been wrong on about every subject he has commented on.
#30 There are dozens & dozens of failed "climate change" predictions. Not sure any of them have come to pass. Yet we still have politicians using it to steal our money.
