The guy won the Nobel, for God's sake! Somebody expand this article!
This prize shouldn't be refered to as one of the five Nobel Prizes, as it is not one, it was created at a later date by the Bank of Sweden. Shouldn't the article include that, or at least call it a "Memorial Prize", instead of refering it as a "Nobel", most strikingly in the second section, "Why Phelps won the Nobel"?

This 2008 article and this 2011 speech, among others led me to update the infobox so as to not pigeon-hole him as a present-day New Keynesian. The article still makes clear his work in the 70s and beyond that led to New Keynesian economics, but the refs I mention and others led me to conclude it does him a disservice to keep him tied to his earlier work. 68.165.77.138 ( talk) 00:03, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
It hardly seems necessary to mention that he doesn't own a car. It's not a reflection of his "many accomplishments". It's just a reflection of the fact that he lives in NYC, where most of us don't own a car. 128.59.164.89 ( talk) 18:32, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Sure, it's not necessary, but it appears in the appropriate section "personal life." Car ownership in New York is lowest in Manhattan, but in total, 45% of New York households own cars. [1] Cp2960 ( talk) 16:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I just randomly happened across this article from the list of Nobel Prize in Economics winners.
That picture, though... really? I mean :-) maybe he doesn't mind, but it's pretty distracting!-- Jimbo Wales ( talk) 15:27, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
