\"nobel<\/a> Nov. 11, 2014 – 96 years since End of WWI in 2018 (+ 76 years after my birth in 1938):<\/em><\/p>\n

An email from a friend in the US really made my (birth)day! Quote:<\/p>\n

\u201dDear Fredrik, Last Friday I went to an event organized by the Carnegie Corporation on the anniversary of the end of WWI. I was struck by how similar Andrew Carnegie’s ideas, as well as his philanthropy, were to Alfred Nobel’s. Do you know whether they were ever in contact? All best, Peter [Weiss]\u201d<\/p>\n

These are Peter\u00b4s questions: Why the similarities? Were Carnegie and Nobel ever in contact?<\/em>\u00a0And this is mine: Why is the connection so interesting – and consequential?<\/em><\/p>\n

The best reply to these questions (in my sole and final evaluation, based on research presented in my books \u2013 see nobelwill.org<\/a>) will receive from me a stipend of US$ 1 500.<\/p>\n

Send your reply<\/strong> with address, phone (and age) to mail@nobelwill.org<\/a>\u00a0by Dec. 2, 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The winner will be announced at the Nobel peace event at Orust (Sweden) on Dec. 6, 2014 and published at nobelwill.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
