Winning two Nobel prizes wasn't enough progress?

Is progress measured in nobel prizes? My understanding is those are put to a vote by institutional committee.

Putting that aside. The shared prize in 2024 was given for work done in the 1970s and 1980s. Was this meant to be a confirmation of my point? You've done so beautifully.

In 2022 they saw fit to award Ben Bernanke. Yep. That one. For, I kid you not, work on the impacts of financial crises. Ironically also work originally done in the 1970s and 80s.
