2013年9月2日,芝加哥大学经济学荣休教授、诺贝尔经济学奖获得者罗纳德·H·科斯(Ronald H.Coase)与世长辞。他是20世纪最具独立性和原创性的思想者之一。他在企业和产权方面的开创性工作永久性地改变了我们对于经济运行的看法。他关于交易成本和生产结构的洞见催生了法律经济学与新制度经济学。同时,科斯还是一位直言不讳的批评家和现代经济学的坚定改革者。对于主流经济学过度的形式主义、静态本质以及与现实世界的脱离,他一贯持批判态度。
On September 2, 2013, Ronald H. Coase, emeritus professor of economics at the University of Chicago and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, died. He is one of the most independent and original thinkers of the 20th century. His groundbreaking work on business and property rights has permanently changed our perception of the economy. His insights on transaction costs and production structures have spawned legal economics and new institutional economics. At the same time, Coase was an outspoken critic and a staunch reformer in modern economics. He has always held a critical attitude to excessive formalism, the static nature of mainstream economics, and his disengagement from the real world.
