          1. Things that are **not** mutually exclusive: - Argue that economics has a problem of elitism - Criticize the existence of the Nobel prize as the pinnacle of this elitism - Still recognize the value of the work that was rewarded (and the winners if they’re good persons) 1/4

        Economics is way too happy to dismiss research that is done by non-star researchers, and I’m not sure it’s a win for the discipline to dismiss an entire body of work for the exact opposite reason 3/4
