I am here, Milton Friedman.
You don't want to know the horrors I now endure. It is beyond words
to describe.
Milton Friedman (July 31, 1912 – November 16, 2006)
was an American Nobel Laureate economist and public intellectual.
He is best known among scholars for his theoretical and empirical
research, especially consumption analysis, monetary history and
theory, and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization
policy. A global public followed his restatement of a libertarian
political philosophy that insisted on minimizing the role of government
in favor of the private sector. As a leader of the Chicago School
of economics, based at the University of Chicago, he had a widespread
influence in shaping the research agenda of the entire profession.
Friedman's many monographs, books, scholarly articles, papers, magazine
columns, television programs, videos and lectures cover a broad
range of topics in microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic history,
and public policy issues. The Economist hailed him as "the
most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century…possibly
of all of it". (Source: Wikipedia)
