Editor's Note: I wish to thank Special Symposium Editor John Lott for his dedicated, vigorous and hard work in setting up the symposium and then in shepherding the manuscripts through the referee and editing process. I also wish to thank Coeditor Rodney Smith, Claremont McKenna College, for serving as our liaison with the special editor. Along with Editorial Coordinator Carolyn Williams, Professors Lott and Smith put together one of the very best one‐day subconferences ever held at a WEA convention. This celebration of the career and influence of Armen Alchian of UCLA, an important and special senior member of our profession, was a wonderful academic experience for all participants, and I trust the insights included in this volume will advance and enrich our thinking about economics as Professor Alchian has throughout his distinguished career. Frank C. Wykoff, Editor
