I'd love to see Tullock or Smith. My prediction is that the winner
will be some obscure person. Not a single one of us will be able to
think of what he's done.

Tullock- a great injustice was done to this man when he wasn't given a joint

Vernon Smith will win sooner or later and I can't think of anyone
else who deserves it more - Smith brought us an entirely new way of

As Fall approaches one of the interesting rituals involves the selection of
Nobel Laureates. While I'm not a legitimate bookie, I do engage in some
