Sherwin Rosen was highly creative and thought deeply about economic questions. This collection of some of his most important articles on compensating differences in labor and product markets, superstars, the value of life, investment in human capital, and other important economic questions is still fresh and stimulating. I expect his influence on economic thinking to grow. There is no better way to get into his work than to read Markets and Diversity.
   --Gary S. Becker, Nobel Laureate in Economics

Sherwin Rosen was Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and former president of the American Economic Association.
