		George Joseph Stigler (January 17, 1911 – December 1, 1991) was a U.S. economist.
		Stigler is best known for developing the Economic Theory of Regulation, also known as capture, which says that interest groups and other political participants will use the regulatory and coercive powers of government to shape laws and regulations in a way that is beneficial to them.
		Stigler was born in Seattle, Washington, and attended the University of Washington, Northwestern University, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1938.

	Press Release - Economic Sciences 1982
		Through particular features of his research, Stigler is also recognized as the founder of "economics of information" and ''economics of regulation", and one of the pioneers of research in the intersection of economics and law.
		In another important study, Stigler examines the traditional theoretical prediction that differences in rates of return are rapidly erased though movements of capital and from low-yield to high-yield firms - one of the cornerstones of the neoclassical concept of market mechanisms.
		Stigler himself found firm empirical support for this hypothesis in a number of studies; it is still too early to assess its ultimate scope.

	Working Paper 159
		Stigler argued that "the chief work of economic theorists should for the present still be in the theory of perfect competition"; he was also concerned that formalist virtuosity and "a mad scramble for originality [by] our younger theorists", had led to a "poor use of the received doctrines".
		In his LSE lectures, Stigler (1949a, 54) stated that the purpose of economics was to generate predictions: "The sole test of a usefulness of an economic theory is the concordance between its predictions and the observable course of events".
		Stigler (1962e, xvi) had just defined the "fundamental characteristic" of scholarship as "the discovery of relevant questions [rather] than the giving of conclusive answers"; and Archibald was clearly attempting to engage the opponents of monopolistic competition by appealing to their own method of research: "this justification should commend itself to Chicago methodologists".

		George was holding forth on the merits of behaviorist theories of voting in which people are said to vote their pocketbooks.
		Stigler was the catalyst in purging McCloskey of his "Chicago school methodology" (McCloskey 2001).
		This is not to deny McCloskey's perception of a dogmatic Chicago school headed by a closed-minded Stigler, but against this perception we have Claire Friedland's recollection that in his "later years" Stigler began to consider the possibility of the legitimacy of the gains obtained by special interest group legislation.

		After graduating from the University of Washington in 1931, Stigler took a business degree at Northwestern University in 1932 and a Ph.D. in economics at the University of Chicago in 1938.
		Among Stigler's notable contributions to economics were his study of the economics of information, an important elaboration of the traditional understanding of how efficient markets operate, and his studies of public regulation, in which he concluded that at best it has little influence and that it is usually detrimental to consumer interests.
		Stigler's publications include The Theory of Price (1942), a textbook of microeconomics; The Intellectual and the Market Place (1964); Essays in the History of Economic Thought (1965); The Citizen and the State (1975); and The Economist as Preacher, and Other Essays (1982).
