us in which Stigler operated, which runs counter to the conventional view of a monolithic Chicago School focused on free markets. A third theme concerns the extent to which Stigler was a partisan or a scientist in his academic endeavors. This aspect entails whether he viewed the economics profession

Nonequilibrium resource competition,d of neutral coexistence is also possible, wherein competitors persist for very long periods of time, because the rate at which inferior competitors are excluded is glacially slow. Neutral coexistence requires that competitors have very similar growth and resource consumption functions.

Introduction, dynamics of abiotic resources are adequately described by simple expressions of mass conservation. Such mass-balance properties characterize systems for which all resource transformations are budgeted.

Theoretical and experimental foundations,, which is the resource availability at equilibrium when a single species . grows in the absence of competing species. When several species compete this quantity is critical, and a simple rule governs competitive outcomes. At equilibrium, the species with the lowest ..* competitively excludes all others.

Critiques,s which are central to the theory, and simplifying assumptions which facilitate the development of predictions from the theory. These sets of assumptions are reviewed and compared with those of familiar Lotka-Volterra theories. It is argued that the proper role of simplifying assumptions is to expose explanatory assumptions to empirical test.

Competition within food webs,hese influences among primary producers competing for inorganic nutrients, a general model of a resource-dependent food web is introduced. The base of this web is an inorganic nutrient, which is consumed by several plant species, which are in turn consumed by herbivores.
