While I am 100% with [Yves Gingras](https://www.opendemocracy.net/article/nobel%5Fby%5Fassociation%5Fbeautiful%5Fmind%5Fnon%5Fexistent%5Fprize) that Economics should not have a Nobel, I am very pleased that [Paul Krugman](http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/an-interesting-morning/?ref=opendemocracy.net) has been awarded the The Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

 PK has been a voice of sense on many issues, not least the Financial crisis - I have often linked to his NYT column from this blog. My personal favourite amongst his wide-ranging economics are his books and articles on Economic Geography. His "[Self Organising Economy](http://www.amazon.com/Self-Organizing-Economy-Paul-R-Krugman/dp/1557866996/ref=sr%5F1%5F19?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223908887&sr=1-19&ref=opendemocracy.net)" has a particularly nice account of the forces that lead to the emergence of Edge Cities. Clear, simple and essential.
