Photograph: AP Ronald Coase, who has died aged 102, won the Nobel prize for economic sciences in 1991 for his work in discovering and clarifying the importance of transaction costs in the functioning of the economy. His substantial contribution to economics spanned eight decades. Coase challenged the idea that "externality problems" – in which the costs of an action are felt by those who are not party to it – necessitated government intervention in the form of taxes or regulation.
Well-defined property rights and low transaction costs could allow individuals to resolve problems themselves through voluntary exchange in a free market. Untitled.

Obituary: John Rawls. With the death of John Rawls, from heart failure at the age of 81, the English-speaking world lost its leading political philosopher.
An exceptionally modest and retiring man, with a bat-like horror of the limelight, he consistently refused the honours he was offered, and declined to pursue the career as public commentator or media guru opened to him by his achievements. Nevertheless, after its appearance in 1971, his most important book, A Theory Of Justice - written during the Vietnam war - became required reading for students of philosophy, politics and law, and, in that way, Rawls has influenced several generations. Indeed, the book, which sold more than 300,000 copies in the US alone, more or less singlehandedly rejuvenated and transformed the study of political philosophy. Rawls never wrote about himself, and virtually never gave interviews. But when, in the mid-1990s, I set out to write a profile of him, many of his friends and colleagues agreed to speak to me.
