	George Joseph Stigler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	George Joseph Stigler, January 17, 1911—December 1, 1991 \| By Milton Friedman \| Biographical Memoirs
		Stigler regarded economic theory, in the words of Alfred Marshall, as "an engine for the discovery of concrete truth," not as a subject of interest in its own right, a branch of mathematics.
		Stigler tried not only to identify such propositions but to put them to the test, often with data that would have been available to the author whose work he was examining.
		The "central thesis of the article," Stigler wrote, "is that, as a rule, regulation is acquired by the industry and is designed and operated primarily for its benefit." He notes that two "alternative views of the regulation of industry are widely held.

		Stigler: Well, I'm a monetarist in the sense of believing that the control over some money supply is important (which measure of money and over what periods, for example, are decisive questions in the control over the rate of growth of the price level).
		Stigler: I think one reason for it would be that he really decided that the staff had very small influence, indeed, upon policy.
		Stigler: Well, in one sense it would be sort of traditional since even if we go back to Ricardo or Smith, they were going to assign the central banking or treasury functions to the government, even though the Bank of England at that time was privately owned.

		Stigler defends this position on the basis of what he describes as "the principle of legitimacy".
		Consistent with the Stigler perspective, but not with his conclusion, many current activities of the government are wrong because they are not legitimate.
		For Stigler, however, these comparisons are irrelevant, as long as the government has the authority to use regulations to redistribute income, in either direction between the owners of the power plant and the population affected by pollution.

		In its simplest and strongest form it says: "No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer." In philology it is known as the "Rule of the Lesser Attribution." Historical acclaim and reputation tend to be allocated to people unevenly.
		Historians of science, however, have noted that often the person who is associated with the particular observation, theory, or result was not its original inventor.
