Insider’s Story: Notes on the Claire Friedland and George Stigler Partnership

Craig Freedman

History of Economics Review, 2012, vol. 55, issue 1, 1-28

Abstract: An interview with Claire Friedland provides a valuable chance to reexamine the work of George Stigler from the viewpoint of someone who spent over three decades with him as a research assistant. Perhaps outside of his wife, no one knew Stigler quite so well. She paints a picture of a remarkable and somewhat cantankerous individual who sometimes failed to fully understand himself. The openness of Friedland in discussing her time with Stigler leaves the reader with a vivid sense of that postwar period when economics seemed intent on reinventing itself.
