Becker (1930â"2014) was an American economist and Nobel laureate whose work significantly expanded the scope of economic analysis into areas traditionally studied by sociology and other social sciences. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1992, Becker is best known for applying rational choice theory to topics such as human capital, crime, discrimination, and family behavior. His influential works, including Human Capital (1964) and The Economic Approach to Human Behavior (1976), argued that individuals make decisions based on cost-benefit analysis across a wide range of social contexts. As a professor at the University of Chicago, Becker played a central role in shaping modern microeconomic theory and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding human behavior.
