You're right. I don't know who constitutes what's known as the family. But, economics wasn't one of the original prizes.

The family criticisms are dumb because they don't speak for Alfred Nobel.
The Prizes were created by one person not his brother or sister or parents or cousins or nephews or nieces
When Alfred died in 1896, economics was not yet a field or a new field not accepted by academics and the 'experts'
Economics is not one of the original prizes and yet I believe it's more prestigious than Peace and ceremoney is in Sweden and cash prize in 10 million Swedish kron
Peace prize ceremony is in Oslo Norway

Honestly the whole thing seems dumb to me. It seems like they have become who can be more woke contests. Who comprises the so called "family"?
