Titmuss Didn't Win the Economics Nobel
Unlike what you heard the Prime Minister say on TV this evening. Only James Meade won it when he shared the prize with Bertil Ohlin in 1977. You want to scroll down a list of all the winners? Easy, click here. You want to read Meade's Nobel lecture? Find it here. You want to know who's gonna win the World Cup in South Africa? Hey, don't push your luck too far!

Navin is good at telling stories for kids & grannies.....
He will not read Meade's Nobel lecture, dear...
But he will be all ears if you tell him that in fact & in truth, Meade's daughter married a Mauritian.....to pu fer li jaloux. Daughter of a Nobel prize winner? Li pu alle rode prend photo ar li la ! coma avec la famille Obama....
Well. Technically there is no Nobel Prize for Economics!
Ah well..Navin and his stories..
Yeah, it's called the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (Sveriges Riksbank is Sweden's Central Bank) and they started giving out the prize in the same year we became independent.
But... Nobel Prize in Economics or Economics Nobel for short.
