Robert Leeson, 
 
The more you write about Stigler's understanding of the "non-positivist" 
influences that shape "economic knowledge" and the ways that he used this 
understanding to shape and define economic discourse (published, refereed 
economic discourse), the less convinced I am of his merit as an historian 
of thought or an historiographer. He may have been a great gamesman and a 
ruthless academic politician, but an historian? I am still waiting to be 
convinced.
