To kiss pedo Trump's butt.

"In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank) established the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. The prize is based on a donation received by the Nobel Foundation in 1968 from Sveriges Riksbank on the occasion of the bank’s 300th anniversary. The prize amount is the same as for the Nobel Prizes and is paid by the Riksbank. The first prize in economic sciences was awarded to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen in 1969.
The Nobel prize does not fund the economic prize." https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/

The banks wanted to reward work on economics that support the filthy-rich. So they bought themselves a Nobel prize. It was never established by the original Nobel foundation.

But hey, they can do the same thing for pedo Trump. Call it the Nazi prize in pedophilia pimping and escaping all accountability .....in Memory of Alfred Nobel of course.
