Robert Leeson,
Stigler was a first rate theorist, but I believe that he played
a detrimental role in the profession by insisting that only
Whig history matters. His virtue as a theorist doesn't exonerate
him for his shortcomings as a historian (or historiographer).
Michael Perelman,
Thanks for your confirmation of Stigler's poor
"sprach ethick" (sp?). I understand that this kind
of story is legion.
