The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was NOT part of Alfred Nobel's original will. In which year was it established?
- 1945
- 1956
- 1968
- 1975
Answer: 1968
The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was established in 1968 by Sweden's central bank — 72 years after Nobel's death in 1896. The original five prizes (Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace) date from 1901. This distinction is a common exam trap in "which is NOT original" questions.
