There are Nobel prices for Literature and Peace - two decidedly non-Science subjects. Alfred Nobel intended the prices for whoever conferred the "greatest benefit on mankind". During Nobel’s lifetime the academic landscape looked very different - economics is a (social) science, but the underlying statistics were still a young discipline when Nobel was alive. To claim that Nobel didn’t create a prize for economics because he didn’t consider it a science seems absurd.
