Abstract

Every edited volume seems to require an introductory chapter. The purpose achieved by this version is to provide a general overview into the life, times, career, and thoughts of one George Stigler, stalwart of the Chicago School of Economics. George Stigler remains one of the most complex, if not unfathomable individuals, within the economics trade. Though influencing, and at times creating, economics as a modern discipline, going beyond a superficial understanding of his work or his intentions makes for a difficult journey that few care to commence. This paper does attempt to scratch a bit deeper, though with what success remains debatable. However, these pages deliberately eschew the more traditional path of providing previews of the chapters included in this volume. Readers who are determined to make their way through this introduction may achieve a somewhat better understanding of his thoughts and economic stances. However, they will fail to discover George Stigler’s feelings about preferred breakfast cereals, his taste in headgear and whether or not he chose to spit shine shoes.
