George Stigler's professional writings are laced with his legendary wit, but The Intellectual and the Marketplace is his only book to give that wit full rein. From "Festschriften" to "A Sketch of the History of Truth in Teaching" to "The Alarming Cost of Model Changes," readers will find both humor and instruction. "Professor Stigler writes with a wit that is even more to be cherished than his erudition. Economics would never have been called the dismal science if there had been a nineteenth-century Stigler." The Economist
