Stigler Center

At the intersection of politics and the economy.

Nobel laureate George J. Stigler founded the Center for the Study of the Economy and the State at the University of Chicago in 1977. From its inception, the Center has been a joint enterprise of economists and legal scholars. We organize events, run a podcast (Capitalisn't), a publication (ProMarket), and engage with academics, policymakers, and the public at large.
