Ma il "premio per l’Economia in memoria di Alfred Nobel", nato successivamente su iniziativa della Banca di Svezia, fin dall’inizio ha suscitato polemiche e contestazioni, persino tra gli stessi vincitori. Con questo premio aggiuntivo, infatti, la scienza economica è stata collocata sullo stesso piano della fisica, della chimica e della medicina, ossia di quegli ambiti della ricerca che Alfred Nobel reputava "i maggiori servizi resi all’umanità".

During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already.

But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty.

But how did firms—often hotly competing firms—reach such collective agreements?
