There is only one social science and we are its practitioners

In 1958, I came to Chicago where I have remained.

That subject has lost its one time appeal to economists as our science has become more abstract, but my interest has even grown more intense as the questions raised by the sociology of science became more prominent.

Even before I came to Chicago, I had gotten interested in the existence of dispersion of prices under conditions which economic theory said would yield a single price.

Competition is a tough weed, not a delicate flower.

My teaching began in 1936 at Iowa State College where T. W. Schultz was the department chairman.

The delicate and intricate pattern of competition and cooperation in the economic behavior of the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Stockholm offers a challenge to the economist that is perhaps as complex as the challenges of the physicist and the chemist.
