The Nobel Prize for Household Management.
I personally have a great deal of respect for Nobel Prizes and there very noble;) intentions and founder.
I don't think there is really any precedent for rescinding any Nobel Prizes in any discipline. The "1949 Nobel Prize for Mutilation" is definitely a case for setting that precedent.
And while we are on the subject of the Nobel Prizes - the entire prize for "Economics" ("The Nobel Prize for Household Management") - the most recently instituted in 1969 - should be rescinded since there is no discipline nor science to award the Prize for. :)
"Economics is Politics".
Sociology is a far more valid endeavour.
Interestingly enough this subject was (understandably) loathed by Thatcher! :)
"Unemployment" for example is far more an issue that could be studied by "sociologists" than by "economists".........
Also, until around 1930 "Economics" was known as "Political Economy".
Adam Smith was a filosofer and founded no new discipline of any kind.
The 1976 Winner of the Nobel for "Economics", Milton Friedman, is listed as "influencing" the fascist war criminal and friend of Thatcher - Augusto Pinochet - undoubtedly nothing more than an evil thoughtless thug.
Milton Friedman is a figure comparable to Josef Goebbels (the Nazi Propaganda Minister).
