Economists today, trained in a mathematical discipline, find it difficult to appreciate George Stigler’s combination of technical competence, scholarly erudition, and mordant wit. We document a tacit list of gaps in the body of economic theory that Stigler laid out in the first edition of his textbook, and we discuss how he spent his life filling in the gaps. Throughout, we address Stigler’s question of whether economists believe they are better than those they study.
