Milton Friedman passed away a year ago today. He was a ferocious defend of the American Way.According to Wikipedia's biography:In 1962, in his first major salvo as a public intellectual, Friedman published "Capitalism and Freedom", a major defense of capitalism and critique of the New Deal and the emerging welfare state. The book would eventually sell half a million copies.Friedman served as an economic adviser to Barry Goldwater during his failed 1964 presidential campaign. Like Friedman, Goldwater had come to reject the New Deal and called for a return to economic freedom. This position was extreme in 1964, but gained momentum over the next two decades, finally culminating in the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Friedman's contributions to the defense of our capitalistic system were many. Don't really understand economics?It's all a bunch of mumbo-jumbo? Watch a great video of Friedman explaining why capitalism is better than any other system, go on over to Red Planet Cartoons.The fi
Insanity is attempting to do the same thing over and over again, expecting to accomplish a different result; Government policies are no different. Should it not be obvious to everyone that not a single government controlled economic policy accomplishes its intended purpose? From Social Security to the minimum wage, all these programs hurt the poorest members in our society. These programs force businesses to discriminate against the people with the least valuable skills.I am amazed that liberals refuse to realize this. You would think the entire Democrat party is made up of people who failed Economics and majored in sociology. Either that or the Democrat Party’s only goal is to stay in power by promising to end poverty while knowingly exacerbating the problem. If we were to base policies by what is actually accomplished, nobody in their right mind would vote for Big Government.What is worse is that we used to have citizens who not only supported liberty and free enterprise, but who

Bài viết sau đây của Paul Krugman về chân dung Friedman đề cập rất nhiều đến quá trình vận động của các quan điểm kinh tế, nhìn nhận hành vi thị trường và cách mà FED đối phó với lạm phát. Chúng tôi xin trích giới thiệu bài viết này đến độc giả Để hiểu về chủ nghĩa trọng tiền, điều đầu tiên bạn cần biết là từ “tiền” trong ngôn ngữ kinh tế không hẳn mang nghĩa giống như trong tiếng Anh bình thường. Khi các nhà kinh tế nói về cung tiền, họ không nghĩ đến của cải trong nghĩa thông thường. Họ chỉ nghĩ đến những dạng của cải có thể sử dụng ít nhiều trực tiếp để mua một cái gì đó.

Milton Friedman: 1912-2006
By Edward Hudgins
Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman passed away on November 16, 2006 at the age of 94. Friedman was one of the most influential economists in the twentieth century and probably the most famous one advocating free markets, thanks in large part to his TV series and accompanying book “Free to Choose.”
Friedman was the brightest light in the Chicago school of economics, which also included Nobel Laureate George Stigler. Friedman was best known in economics for his theory of monetarism. This approach challenged the Keynesian theory that promoted the efficacy of manipulating the money supply to bring about positive economic result. Friedman believed in keeping a stable money supply and avoiding inflation. His insights gained currency in the 1970s as government attempts to deal with both unemployment and rising prices through Keynesian methods produced the worst of all worlds, “stagflation,” that is, high une
In his impact on freedom and liberty there may have been no one greater than Milton Friedman. You can tell how important he was by the number of organizations and people paying their respects. Yesterday, we referenced the Cato Institute, whose building on Massachusettes Avenue in Washington, D.C. should probably be named after him. Here is more reaction from:The Institute for JusticeThe Heritage FoundationThe Mackinac CenterThe Objectivist CenterThe Competitive Enterprise InstituteReason MagazineVirginia PostrelThe Washington PostThe Editors of the Wall Street Journal, and a very kind article fromThe New York TimesMy wife and I had the great pleasure of meeting Milton Friedman and his wife Rose at a Cato event years ago. They were so nice and respectful to everyone who came by to say hello.
