Abstract

This is a personal reflection from my experience meeting Ronald H. Coase in October 2012 for a 2-day interview together with Ning Wang. Our interview was one of the world’s last glimpses of Coase’s life and contributions, and one that conveys Coase’s contributions as both a true scholar and a gentleman. In addition to the published interview (S. Terjesen & N. Wang, 2013. Coase on entrepreneurship. Small Business Economics, 40(2), 173–184), I kept personal journal notes reflecting on eight life lessons which Coase embodied: being kind, honest, and humble, cherishing friendships, learning continuously, finding humor, serving and teaching others, and accepting chance circumstances. I was initially inspired to record these reflections for my three young children, but have often shared them with my colleagues and students. I am delighted to share Coase’s life lessons more broadly with the world of readers through Coase’s journal.
