Alfred Nobel, Death Merchants, and The Peace Prize Farce
The history of Alfred Nobel is examined, characterizing him as a "death merchant" who amassed wealth through the invention of dynamite and war explosives. Wan explains that the Nobel Peace Prize was created as a rebranding effort to mask Nobel's legacy of destruction. He notes that the corporate ancestors of DuPont, ICI, and IG Farben all originated from Nobel’s various international explosives companies.
