The "Nobel" Prize in Economics

Tyler Cowen has a several pieces about Thomas Schelling and Robert Aumann, winners of the 2005 "Nobel" Prize in economics [see here, here, and here]. I especially liked the posting [the content, not the unintended double negative] by Alex Tabarrok, Tyler's co-blogger at Marginal Revolution:
...the thing to know about Schelling is that he is brilliant but you won't find hardly a single equation in his Nobel prize winning work.
