Milton Friedman At 100 Years

Wish You Were Here

Where is the Milton Friedman of our days? Please come forward!

Economic Lessons For Everyone

A few days ago, I had the pleasure to watch Milton Friedman on the Donahue show in 1979 on YouTube. Incredible, how Friedman explained economics in simple terms to everyday people on TV. It was fascinating to see how he passionately engaged with individuals of the audience. He certainly was not a man of the Ivory Tower like so many other economists.

We The People

He understood well that you need to try to convince the common people that free markets and individual liberty are in all our best interest for a better life.


A Very Readable Article

Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal wrote an excellent article on the occasion of Milton Friedman’s 100th birthday titled “The Man Who Saved Capitalism” which was published on 7/31/2012 on the Opinion page.
