George Stigler, an American at the University of Chicago, won the 1982 Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics for his work on the market effects of regulatory policies, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced.

The academy said in its citation that Mr. Stigler won the $150,000 prize in memory of Alfred Nobel for ''his seminal studies of industrial structures, functioning of markets, and causes and effects of public regulation.'' He was also recognized as a pioneer of research into the relationship between economics and law.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
