sociologists and economists

sociologists talk about social relations which include issues of those people who don't have money such as women, tribals, slaves, etc.
economists know how to met unlimited demands from limited resources. they can tell how to increase profit.

Nowadays economists are gaining but sociologists are receding in terms of recognization.

why economists got more recognization is
1.  they are backed by western developed countries who want to gain profit by international trade. Also, their social structure supports such developments.
2. economic power is very effective in gaining control of world's affairs so developing countries followed their western counterparts.

 this has resulted in getting economic solutions than social solution of issues, for example, global warming.
we know that the best solution for global warming is planting.  economist's solution has been the use of fuel-efficient cars or financial inclusion etc., hardly any mention of plants.  this is because plants have lesser economic value but have higher social value(religion, marriage etc.). So sociologists can give better solutions to global warming.

similarly, sociologist have a better solution than an economist, of issues such as education(for social relation or for economic gain), national security(for residents or for country's wealth), health(for humanity or through modern medicines), etc.

We must also consider that social life has existed since paleolitihic period  and economic life is mainly a result of the industrial revolution.

this shows that human relations have existed for a longer time than the economic relations. And for acknowledging the true potential of human relations we need social intellectuals.
So we must start nobel prize in sociology.
