U of Chicago's Finance Guru on Post-crisis Regulations
More generally, current events are certain to produce more regulation, and
much of it is likely to be counterproductive. My longtime colleague, George Stigler, was famous for his argument, buttressed by empirical evidence, that regulators are eventually captured by the regulated. As a result, regulation often has results opposite those intended.

Correct me if I am wrong, I think Hong Kong's financial sector czar Dr Chan Ka-keung was Gene Fama's student. Wonder what he thinks of his mentor's thoughts on the matter.

I am extremely happy to report that Transaction Press has decided to reprint Milton Friedman's classic Price Theory text as well as Gary Becker's Economic Theory.
Meantime, publishers have also offered both paperback and hardcover versions of Frank Knight's Risk, Uncertainty and Profit.
