What about the economics prize (I know, not a real nobel prize) going to members of the free/open source software community. Their works have really shown that great things can be built by a community of people, with limited central leadership and without a clear profit motive.
- philwelch 17y agoThe economics prize usually goes to an economist, not to someone who actually demonstrates something about the economy in practice.
