Answer

Yes, although Stigler occasionally aligned with mainstream economics, he more often challenged it. He critiqued the traditional economic model, viewing it as too simplistic and unrealistic, and argued that economic behavior was more complex and influenced by various factors such as information asymmetry and human psychology. Stigler's research pushed the boundaries of economic thinking and helped shape a more comprehensive understanding of economic phenomena.
