He was born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. His work includes seminal articles on the economics of discrimination, crime, family, drugs, and social interaction.
He still teaches price theory to the new graduate students each year.
In December, 2004, Becker started a joint blog with Judge Richard Posner.
