	The University of Chicago Magazine: December 2001, Features
		Many of Chicago's Nobel honors have come in the sixth and youngest category: the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the Swedish equivalent of the Federal Reserve System.
		Chicago economics analyzes the responses of individuals, firms, and the public sector to costs, benefits, and incentives; pairs a fundamental appreciation for the power of competitive forces with a healthy distrust of governmental intervention in markets; and places a high value on personal and economic freedoms.
		Their work reflects Chicago's approach, and in many instances they were honored implicitly for contributions they made while on the quadrangles...

	Frank H. Knight – Origins of the Chicago School of Economics - Economic Insights - FRB Dallas
		They divide economic theory—and its practitioners —into various "schools" of thought.[1] One of the most famous collections of thinkers and theoreticians is the Chicago school, housed at the University of Chicago.
		The Chicago school is far from some monolithic set of beliefs to which all its members subscribe.
		The greatest need for the development of economics as a growing body of thought and practice is an adequate appreciation of the meaning, and the limitations, of this body of accurate premises and rigorously established conclusions.

	Title: Economics as Religion: from Samuelson to Chicago and Beyond
		It simply discusses characteristics that economics and religion have in common, which may be enough to claim that economics is like religion, but not to claim that economics is more like religion than anything else.
		It concludes that new institutional economists are better able to understand the causes of economic growth by examining the role of institutions and values in making a market economy work, but these are criticisms of the discipline’s scientific understanding of how the economy works, not of its value judgments.
		Perhaps value-free economics is not possible and the best solution is to for social scientists to state their value judgments and to examine the consequences of alternative value judgments, but any economist would do well to be aware of the values in economics pointed out in this book.

	Chicago school (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chicago school of economics is a school of thought favoring free-market economics practiced at and disseminated from the University of Chicago.
		The school of thought is not the same as the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago, widely considered one of the world’s foremost economics departments, having fielded more Nobel Prize winners and John Bates Clark medalists in economics than any other university.
		Chicago School theories lay behind much of the policies of the World Bank from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, during which time large portions of the state-owned companies in many Third World countries were privatized.

		The references to "Chicago" (meaning, of course, the University of Chicago) Schools of economics and history of religion, and the quotation of Allan Bloom, who may be considered to belong to a Chicago school of philosophy, may suggest a general endorsement of "Chicago" ideas.
		Chicago economics, indeed, is superior: Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, and others, like Gary S. Becker, have helped rescue the free market from slow death at the hands of dominant post-War Keynesianism.
		The Chicago history of religion school of Eliade is a different case since it is, in fact, a matter of history, rather than philosophy, of religion.

	THEBIZBEACON.COM - Economics
		Economics, which focuses on measurable variables, is broadly divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which deals with individual agents, such as households and businesses, and macroeconomics, which considers the economy as a whole, in which case it considers aggregate supply and demand for money, capital and commodities.
		John Maynard Keynes once remarked that "Economics is the science of thinking." Broadly, the history of the study moved from the study of "wealth" to "welfare" to the idea of studying trade-offs.
		Economic policy often revolves around arguments about the cause of "economic friction", or price stickiness, and which is, therefore, preventing the supply and demand from reaching equilibrium.

	Antitrust Economics: Three Cheers and Two Challenges
		Many who are reluctant to accept welfare economics as the sole objective of public policy seem to recognize that it provides the most practical guidance and is least likely to lead to arbitrary results.
		The outcomes, however, obviously depend on a number of assumptions that are built into the models, such as the existence of economies of scale or whether one firm's decision to enter an exclusive contract imposes an externality on other competitors.
		Unfortunately, the economic literature does not adequately suggest ways to assess the current state of dynamic competition, or the evidence to support or refute the arguments.
