Summary

The economists of the "Chicago School" revolutionized economic orthodoxy in the second half of the 20th century, utterly dominated the Nobel Prizes awarded in economics, and changed how business was and is done around the world. This landmark book is the first to provide a comprehensive history of how this remarkable constellation of thinkers evolved, and how their influence led to a transformation of the global economic, business, and political landscape.

Author Biography
