Mind over chatter since 1905
It is with great pride we congratulate Elinor Ostrom, co-winner, with Oliver Williamson, of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics and author of the Princeton University Press book UNDERSTANDING INSTITUTIONAL DIVERSITY. And I hear through the grapevine that we have another project of hers coming out in the not-to-distant future. Stay tuned!
Congratulations, again, Elinor!
