> He explained that "Nobel despised people who cared more about profits than society's well-being", saying that "There is nothing to indicate that he would have wanted such a prize", and that the association with the Nobel prizes is "a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation".

To be fair I would definitely consider Goldin’s work the kind of work that improves society and hence that Nobel would want awarded.
