Friedman Peace Prize
From Alfred Nobel’s will for eligibility of the Nobel Peace Prize – “for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of
standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses” [source]. That’s it. Thomas “World is Flat” Friedman wants to give it to the U.S. armed forces. Talk about not getting the point. But of course, Friedman is free to donate few million of his estate and institute the Friedman Peace Prize and give it to anyone he damn pleases. Given the theses of his magnum opus, I thought he would’ve recommended some multinational corporation and even that would’ve made more sense.
