The German Business News thinks Ben Bernanke's Nobel Prize in Economics is a mockery of the institution:
As the supreme guardian of the currency, Ben Bernanke first slept through the financial crisis of 2008 and was then responsible for the multi-billion dollar bank bailout. This laid the foundation for today's double-digit inflation and the coming financial market crisis. The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded for this.
2022 is a year when neither the economics or peace prizes should have been awarded.
Update - 10/13/2022
Some in the US agree:

I think the criteria is "those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind." Does Bernanke meet this? I don't think so.
It's like Obama ad-Dajjal's peace prize; it did NOT meet Nobel's basic criteria. But they awarded it anyway.
