But Stigler was the author of The Economist as Preacher and had a
non-Whiggish view of, for example, why the "kinky [!] demand curve" had
survived. He won his Nobel Prize for his work on information. What he
wrote about influence in the economics profession betrayed a sociologists'
view of knowledge which I think had been cultivated during his student
years at Chicago and which blossomed, for him, in the 1950s. He played a
crucial role in the process by which Chicago overcame Cambridge.
