Awards of Outstanding International Importance to Statesmen and Heroines

In his acclaimed 2005 book ,  The Economy of Prestige ,
Professor James F. English, (Chair of the English Dept. at
the U. of Pennsylvania)   acknowledges (on p. ix) Jeffrey
"Nobel Jeff" Schramek and (on p. 158) relies on Schramek's
input regarding the history of sales of Nobel Prize medals.

Dr. English elaborates on Schramek's info on this history in the relevant footnote (found on p. 367);  Dr. English also refers to Awards of Outstanding Intenational Importance in an enigmatic paragraph on pp. 173-74, with corresponding footnote on p. 369.

(World-Class Awards to Statesmen and Heroines)

See Economic Times (India) April 7, 2004 article by Vikram Doctor, "Nobel Price: way over Rs 10 lakh"   extensively (and fairly:  "Schramek, a Chicago-based dealer, has the only Nobel for sale in the world") quoting and describing J. Schramek and his position, esp. about the appeal of the Nobel Prize, in an analysis of the Indian Government's offer of (a measly) $22,000 for return of the stolen 1913 Nobel medal of Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian national hero.

Aruna Srinivasan on her blog " The Waves ," reacted on Thursday, April 8, 2004, in "Different strokes," to Mr. Doctor's story by agreeing with J. Schramek's assessment of the Tagore medal situation, concluding: "There can be no prize tags for such treasures. Nor is India a rich country to offer such huge sacks of cash for the stolen national treasure.
But then, even in plain speak of economic calculations, do you get a fair idea of what we lost?

Or what we failed to preserve?"
