George J. Stigler's Birth Card: The 10 of Diamonds

In the record

George Joseph Stigler (January 17, 1911 – December 1, 1991) was an American economist. The birth-card coordinate for January 17 is the 10 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1982 Economic Sciences prize.

Nobel Prize record

• 1982 The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel — for his seminal studies of industrial structures, functioning of markets and causes and effects of public regulation

The 10 of Diamonds coordinate

George J. Stigler's birthday maps to the 10 of Diamonds (The Wealthy Master). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on George J. Stigler. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You build enough and keep it structured so it actually holds.

George J. Stigler in the public record

He was the 1982 laureate in Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and is considered a key leader of the Chicago school of economics. Stigler was born in Seattle, Washington, the son of Hungarian Elsie Elizabeth (Erzsébet Hungler, born in Bakonypéterd, Veszprém county, Kingdom of Hungary) and Bavarian Joseph Stigler. He was of German and Hungarian descent and spoke German in his childhood. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1931 with a B.A. and then spent a year at Northwestern University, from which he obtained his MBA in 1932. It was during his studies at Northwestern that Stigler developed an interest in economics and decided on an academic career. After he received a tuition scholarship from the University of Chicago, Stigler enrolled there in 1933 to study economics and went on to earn his PhD in economics in 1938. Stigler taught at Iowa State College from 1936 to 1938. He spent much of World War II at Columbia University, conducting mathematical and statistical research for the Manhattan Project.
