Ronald Coase will turn 100 this year on 29 December. This video clip is a couple of months old. His mind appears to be sharp, it is clear that the infirmity of age has caught up with him.
The Ronald Coase Institute is here.

Liberty Quotes

Thanks for that video Sinclair, what a great man Coase is.
Coase displays a trait that I think is present in all good economists: he loves markets, and recognises what an important creation of man they have proved to be.
