Gary Becker Birthday Fest


Gary turns 75. Price Theory Center has a conference. Center is named for Gary. A fun evening. Never buy used furniture from an economist...

"Guity Nashat Becker described meeting her future husband while trying to barter with him over the purchase of a dining room table; she also applauded him and other extraordinary members of the Chicago school of economics with “brave and revolutionary vision and ideas” that help us live in a “more democratic and better world.” She concluded, “I believe that the homage that's being paid to Gary is not for him alone, but also for the giants on whose shoulders he stands.”
