becoming the first black person to win a Nobel Prize in a category other than peace.[edit]

Maybe I am overly PC here, but doesn't this sentence have a tinge of bigotry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.240.64.201 (talk) 20:02, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"in a category other than peace." - this is outrageous to me, as the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics Science has nothing to do with the actual Nobel prizes, of which Peace is a category. I'm removing the confusion between the Nobel Prize and the Economics Sciences Prize in Memory of Alfred Nobel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.210.175 (talk) 04:45, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Economics prize vs Nobel Prize[edit]

I fail to follow the argument of the distinction between between the real Nobel Prizes and the economic one instituted later on being merely technical given the fact that Nobel_Prize_in_Economics#Controversies_and_criticisms goes to quite some length to show up the dispute about that very issue.

The prize in economics is usually referred to as one of the Nobel prizes.VolunteerMarek 08:00, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How did he die[edit]

I wanna knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

This economic model doesn’t sound like a good thing.[edit]

Reading wikipedias informantion on the Lewis Model states that the economic advantages were based on unlimited supplies of labor, without having to raise wages, and just providing capital for the business. It does suggest that business can reinvest its capital into eventually raising wages for its skilled laborers, but that the business company does not have to choose to do that. Isn’t this the whole reason the American middle class has disappeared: All capital earned is being invested back into businesses growing, and company earnings potential, but not the into the actual people who perform the labor that actually makes the company operate. Am I understanding something incorrectly? W. Arthur Lewis may have had good intentions with his economic model, but have the countries and businesses that utilized his model provided fairly for its workers? Are the actual “unlimited labor” supplies getting thier basic needs met through financially in exchange for providing the labor that provides for the entire economic model? 63.140.94.91 (talk) 12:12, 10 December 2020 (UTC) Did I misunderstand?[reply]
