In conjunction with its tercentenary celebrations in 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Bank of swedan) instituted the new award, “The Central Bank of swedan prize in economic sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel” on the basis of an economic commitment by the bank in perpetuity. The award is given by the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences according to the same principles as for the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded sine 1901. The book contains noted economists of the world who have been awarded the Nobel Prize, their biographies and introduces their theories, findings and methodologies extensively.
