Robert Leeson's recent mention of Stigler's history of the "kinky demand 
curve" prompted me to recall Craig Freedman's "The Economist as Mythmaker" 
(Journal of Economic Issues, March 1995, pp. 175-209).  Freedman paints a 
less than flattering portrait of Stigler's assault on the kinked demand 
curve.
