Technically correct, but considering that the official Nobel organization endorses the prize on their website, it's a little bit of a stretch to call it a "fake". From nobelprize.org [1]:
> The economics prize was established much later and is a memorial prize, as indicated by its full name: the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Its addition was an exception, to celebrate the tercentenary of Sweden’s central bank in 1968.
Of course, I do understand where the author is coming from. Economics as a discpline has large, shady pieces. But I think some of that shadiness exists in the Nobel organization itself....
