The price was created, and is given, by the Nobel Foundation, which was set up by Nobel's will to carry out his last wish. If you go to the official page of the Nobel Prize the Prize in Economic Sciences is listed with the other Nobel Prizes. Its not one of the original Nobel Prizes, but claiming its a completely different thing is not true.

The price was created by Sweden's central bank, not the Nobel foundation. It's true that it's now considered a Nobel prize proper for most, but that's not to say that it originally wasn't the economics field leeching on the scientific prestige of Nobel. To be honest, it feels pretty on-brand for it. And fwiw, in Swedish, it's almost always clearly distinguished with a "in memory of Nobel" or similar in the surrounding context.

No it was funded by Swedens central Bank. They provide to money for the prize to the Nobel foundation. Step it up if you want to be pedantic please.

1. It was set up during the Central bank's 300-year anniversary.

2. Without the central banks establishment of the perpetual funding there's no prize. Your argument is purely semantic and ofc snarky like your entire comment history.

3. You can read the story about it here in Swedish: https://sidea.se/nobelkuppen/ (The Nobel coup)
