Brad Bateman:
Ah ha! Now I understand why we are talking at cross purposes. I am not
claiming that Stigler was a great historian; I am claiming that his
historical/sociological understanding informed his research agenda (and the
Chicago counter-revolution). Perhaps we mean something different by "Whig"
history; what Stigler wrote about the "kinky demand curve" and monopolistic
competition does not suggest that he believed that 'truth' would vanquish
'error.' He had a very clear understanding about the hierarchy of
influence.
