After inventing dynamite, Swedish- born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he

used for awarding prizes to people who had made world while contribution to mankind.
Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics
was added in 1968, just sixty- seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel’s original
legacy of nine million dollars was invested and the interest in this sum is used for the awards
which vary from $ 30,000 to $ 125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s
death, the awards are presented to the winners. Some politics plays an important role in the
