Etymology and history aside, important quote from Wikipedia is:

> it is administered and referred to along with the Nobel Prizes by the Nobel Foundation

So, for all intents and purposes it kinda is "the Nobel Prize in Economics". If they don't give a fuck about legitimacy of it, I don't see why they would care for the rest of "Nobel Prizes".

No, it really isn't "the Nobel Prize in Economics" which is why it has a different name, and the Nobel family want to get rid of it. It should be emphasized that it is a nonsense Nobel and economics a nonsense subject every time it is brought up.
