Gary S. Becker, an esteemed economist and public intellectual, stands as a towering figure in the realm of economics. His remarkable achievements include receiving a Nobel Prize, a John Bates Clark Medal, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom, solidifying his status as the preeminent microeconomist in history. Over a span of forty years at the University of Chicago, Becker left behind a wealth of unpublished writings that delved into the intricate realm of human behavior, employing an economic lens to explore diverse topics such as preference formation, rational indoctrination, income inequality, drugs and addiction, and the economics of family. These papers, while not flawless, provide a captivating and insightful window into the process and personality of Becker, revealing his directness, critical thinking, and insatiable curiosity.
The Economic Approach serves as a fitting culmination to Becker's body of work, emphasizing its significance not solely due to its perfection but rather because it offers a profound and instructive exploration into the thought processes of an economist driven by a passion for inquiry rather than solely by the pursuit of publications. Throughout his writings, Becker's inquisitive spirit remains a remarkable and enduring trait, resonating deeply within the field of economics and beyond.
