Intellectuals and the Market

Author: (USA) George Stigler
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2001-09-01
Features: As far as I know, this series is the first attempt to systematically publish the important works of all laureates. The publication of the series itself holds great significance, and its release in China carries an even deeper meaning. I hope its publication will not only contribute to the development of economics but also directly promote the development of the Chinese economy.
The Nobel Prize Committee in Economic Sciences (Sweden) – Torsten Persson
Stigler was a world-renowned economist, a strong advocate and defender of liberal ideas such as market economy systems and academic freedom, and a representative figure of the liberal economic school. Through analyzing various ordinary phenomena in life, he discussed fundamental issues of economic and philosophical significance, such as intellectuals, freedom, market systems, university education, and academic freedom. As a master of his generation, he certainly did not disappoint his readers. In this concise and humorous booklet, his profound thoughts and keen insights shine through, along with his wisdom in extracting unique insights from everyday matters.
Target Audience: Economics students and faculty, economic theorists, scholars, and researchers.
