Milton Friedman, 1912-2006
Reason writers remember the iconic libertarian economist
Brian Doherty | November 16, 2006
Undoubtedly the most successful and influential proponent of
libertarian thought in the 20th century, Milton Friedman, died last
night at age 94. His successes as both a technical economist and
libertarian polemicist are enormous. We can thank him, in large part,
for happy events from the elimination of the draft to the conquest of
inflation. Just a quick note now--his impact was staggering, and there
could never be enough words said in praise of him.
