Why Do REAL Economists Rarely Get the Nobel Prize?

Follow the money:

“In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank) established the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. The prize is based on a donation received by the Nobel Foundation in 1968 from Sveriges Riksbank on the occasion of the bank’s 300th anniversary.”

Who would a central bank be giving prizes to, if not people like Bernanke?

Follow Aruch Hashulchan Instead of the Mishna Brurah?!

So said both Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin (source: Rabbi Ari Enkin in an extremely foolish and deceptive article here).

To be brief, I don’t think this meta-ruling of whom to rely upon reflects well at all upon Rabbis Feinstein and Henkin in halacha.

When Rabbi Chaim Greineman zatzal would say something and was told in response that Rabbi Feinstein, too supports his opinion, Rabbi  Greineman would remark that isn’t yet a case against his own position…

We have written about various strange things found in Aruch Hashulchan here in the past, as well.
