China does not have a Nobel Prize winner in economics for the same reason that none of the Muslim countries have a Nobel Prize in economics, the Nobel Prize in economics is heavily skewed towards western economics pioneered by Europe and the United States. Islamic Economics and Marxist economics in China's case does not appeal to the Nobel committee.
Try this:
The great famine was caused by a combination of adverse weather conditions, social pressure, economic mismanagement, and radical changes in agriculture imposed by government regulations.Mao Zedong, Chinese Communist Party Chairman, introduced drastic changes in farming policy which prohibited farm ownership. Failure to abide by the policies led to punishment. The social pressure imposed on the citizens in terms of farming and business, which the government controlled, led to state instability. Owing to the laws passed during the period and Great Leap Forward during 1958–1962, according to an analysis by journalist Yang Jisheng, about 36 million people died of starvation in this period.[4]
The Nobel committee likely awards the prize to the economists who kills the fewest, and American economists, at the time, only killed 2.5 million Vietnamese. So, according to my calculation, Americans should get 20 times the Nobels than Chinese.
But I am not sure what the Nobel rules are, they may just reward the economist who does the most killing, and are simply biased against Chinese Commie killers.
