ProMarket

ProMarket, the publication of the Stigler Center, promotes discussion about the many ways in which special interests subvert competition in the marketplace. In the finest University of Chicago tradition, ProMarket does so with data and the rigor of academic work, but without the pedantry that often accompanies them.
