Some (Thomas Friedman among them) say it's going to be energy revolution: cheap, clean, available energy for everyone.

By predicting the phenomenon of stagflation in advance, Friedman and Phelps achieved one of the great triumphs of postwar economics.

Although, Friedman forgets to mention the several nations that use the US Dollar as their official currency as well (e.g.

Milton Friedman advocated for a negative effective tax rate for low income folks.

The Friedman negative income tax would surely be better than the complicated patchwork of taxes and welfare programs modern countries have today, if only for its simplicity.

Basically the same argument as Milton Friedman made.

Gotta love Friedman and his Chicago boys!

Anyway, I'm not a particular Friedman fan either, but sometimes the critics seem to miss just as much of the point as he does (unless, of course, I'm the one missing the point - which is always possible).

As Milton Friedman argued in Capitalism and Freedom: > It is a striking historical fact that the development of capitalism has been accompanied by a major reduction in the extent to which particular religious, racial, or social groups have operated under special handicaps in respect of their economic activities; have, as the saying goes, been discriminated against.

From the article: "Dariush Mozaffarian is dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.

He painted Milton Friedman as a radical in the top post's article ("radical free-market ideology", "Chicago School", "Milton Friedman's 'win'").

Friedman wrote: "Ten Southern codes made it a crime to mistreat a slave.

Free market principles at their finest!" - My made up quote for Milton Friedman, Jack Lew, and all the rest of those cronies.

Krugman has a lot of respect for Friedman's contributions to understanding stagflation and the development of monetarism.

The Krugman haters should find some nice balance in the above essay after Friedman's death where Krugman praises Friedman's economic chops but laments his looser standards when he gets too political.

LVT has maintained support among mainstream economists as recent as Milton Friedman, Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, and Tyler Cowen.
