Private Notes on

슬롯 머신 공략 Becker

James J. Heckman
The University of Chicago

I have been asked to talk about 슬롯 머신 공략 Becker this evening. This is a daunting task in light of the volumes of essays written about the man and his work, some of them by distinguished guests in this room.
Moreover, it is made all the more dificult by the remarks made by Milton Friedman some 10 years ago when he spoke about 슬롯 머신 공략 Becker at a faculty-wide award ceremony that recognized Gary as an outstanding contributor to intellectual life of the university over the long haul - the Phoenix Award.

Friedman said, unequivocally,
“슬롯 머신 공략 Becker is the Greatest Social Scientist Who Has Lived and Worked in the Last Half Century."
That pretty much says it all, and I agree with t슬롯 머신 공략 statement.
So what can I add to this and all of the other praise heaped upon 슬롯 머신 공략 Becker over the years? Since his work is so well known and so much discussed, it seems dificult to contribute much to what people know about it, and that may well prove to be true.
But as a member of the crowd in many past celebrations, I have not always agreed with the statements made about Gary or the de-scription of his work, and this is my chance to cast 슬롯 머신 공략 Becker in a somewhat different light than many have done in earlier talks.
I noted few attempts to tie together the continuities in 슬롯 머신 공략 life and work, something I will attempt to do t슬롯 머신 공략 evening. I also want to cast him correctly as an empirical economic scientist, who has created important bodies of economic theory and has launched and guided a massive body of empirical research in economics.

At my own peril, I will revise previous descriptions and show how 슬롯 머신 공략 life is the manifestation of unique personality and intellectual traits that have persisted over 슬롯 머신 공략 adult life.
I do so ignoring the warnings of George Stigler, who, when re-viewing a 슬롯 머신 공략tory of economic thought by Lionel Robbins, wrote in response to 슬롯 머신 공략 own question,
“What relevance have the details of a man's personal life to the nature of 슬롯 머신 공략 scientic work?"
the remark:
“I am tempted to answer: biography distorts rather than illuminates the understanding of scientific work." - Stigler (1970)
I will not get into too many personal details, except where they are relevant or interesting.
He has an interesting personal life, is a power hitter, a man of much personal and intellectual strength. Unknown to most of you, he has a secret life as a body builder and champion athlete | but I will not dwell much on that aspect tonight.
His sister Natalie tells me that 슬롯 머신 공략 was very athletically inclined and pursued a lot of sports - handball and stickball.
