George Stigler
George Stigler was an influential American economist and a key figure in the Chicago School of Economics, known for his work on the economics of information and regulation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1982 for his contributions to the field, particularly his analysis of how regulation can often serve the interests of the industry being regulated rather than the public interest. Stigler's insights into the dynamics of market structures and regulatory frameworks have had a lasting impact on economic thought and policy.
