Teaching, 1950s-2008
- Scope and content:
-
Includes course syllabi, exams, and notes primarily from North's teaching activities at Washington University, but also at the Business School in Prague, with which he was affiliated for several years in the 1990s. For more than 20 years, John N. Drobak, co-taught with North the "Theory of Property Rights" for both economics and law students at the Washington University. North was very dedicated to his students. The morning he got the call announcing his receipt of the Nobel prize, he postponed media interviews until after his regular class. His dedication to students and to young scholars is also reflected by the fact that two of his later co-authors worked with North early in their careers: John J. Wallis at the University of Washington in late 1970s and Barry R. Weingast at the Washington University in St. Louis in 1980s. Arranged chronologically.
