They don't hand out Nobel prizes for glossed over topics.

Leaving aside the fact that the Economics prize isn't actually a Nobel Prize, topics which historically haven't been given enough attention are exactly where the highest impact research takes place.

If externalities had always received the attention they deserved, Coase would have never received his prize, because his work would not have been so important.
