Scope and Content of Collection
The papers document the career of economist Yale Brozen, who was a professor of business economics at the University of Chicago
from 1957 to 1987. In addition to his professorial work, Brozen was a member of the Mont Pèlerin Society and served as a consultant
to various government organizations and companies. The collection contains materials related to economic theory, economic
conditions in the United States, and governmental economic policy.
The
Correspondence mainly contains Brozen's outgoing letters, which include his comments on the writings of others and discussions of various
economic issues. Brozen corresponded with several American Enterprise Institute (AEI) scholars, such as Robert Helms and Marvin
Kosters. Other correspondents include Ronald Coase, Kenneth Elzinga, David Henderson, Melvin Lurie, and Kenneth S. Templeton.
The majority of the collection consists of Brozen's
Speeches and writings, which reflect Brozen's viewpoint as a Chicago school of economics scholar. As an expert on antitrust law, Brozen wrote and
spoke about government regulation. His work also comments on the Federal Trade Commission, advertising, and the energy crisis.

Course materials contain exams for economics and business courses which Brozen taught.
