My colleague Pete Boettke, over at The Austrian Economists, rightly and well celebrates the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ronald Coase’s watershed article on the Federal Communications Commission.

The Library of Liberty has an excellent interview with Coase where Coase explains the origin of this article in his _field research_.

And not well. Coase doesn’t consider himself an economist — perhaps in part because economists notoriously don’t do field research.

Is this paper accessible anywhere? If so, can anyone link to it?

It’s available at JSTOR, but you’ll either need a subscription or be willing to pay for access to a copy.
