Milton Friedman's misfortune...
naked capitalism (Free subscription) | 08/01/2008
“ Milton’Friedman’s misfortune is that his economic policies have been tried .” - John Kenneth Galbraith Oracle : Oppenheimer's Meredith Whitney - whose credibility exceeds most Wall Street CEOs - has a litany fit for a Cathedral door: The crisis is less than half over, bank assets are still marked at unworldly levels, capital to rescue brokers is like hen's teeth, there is no quick fix and probably...

Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy
Newmark's Door (Free subscription) | 08/05/2008
By Lawrence F. Reed of the Mackinac Center. Well- and concisely-expressed. They draw heavily on Milton Friedman's work. But our policymakers need novelty a whole lot less than they need sound principles. These are.

Hot, Flat and Crowded
AssortedStuff (Free subscription) | 08/04/2008
That’s the title of Thomas Friedman’s new book, coming in September and I listened to a sample of the audio version this morning. As you might be able to tell from the title, he’s building on the world-is-flat franchise, but this particular chapter deals with why we need to deal seriously with climate change. As opposed to [...]

Milton Friedman: Economic Freedom, Human Freedom, Political Freedom
Grasping Reality with Both Hands (Free subscription) | 08/02/2008
I find Milton Friedman's take on the big issues of history and moral philosophy to be... inadequate... and filled with bizarre blind spots. But if you do not feel the force of his grand argument, you need to think again: > The Smith Center: Milton Friedman's lecture: Pinochet and the military in Chile were led to adopt free market principles after they took over only because they did...

Friedman vs Pausch
Cobb (Free subscription) | 08/05/2008
... knowing what a soup Nazi is goes a long way. And so I have made the concession to read Thomas L. Friedman's 'The World is Flat' even though I generally don't like Friedman and that book is so 2005. But anyway, here goes. I bought the Audible last week and started to listen to it this evening on the road from Dayton to West Chester. I even hate the voice of the guy they have reading it. So...

The Expected Rate of Inflation
Political Calculations (Free subscription) | 07/31/2008
We could just as easily called this post " King's Birthday Math ," as King Banaian marked Milton Friedman's birthday by presenting the math that underscores one of Friedman's greatest insights : Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. We'll let King take it from here: I have been teaching intermediate macroeconomics this summer, using the textbook of our current central...

A Proper Dissection
Silly Little Country (Free subscription) | 07/31/2008
On Milton Friedman's birthday , let me point to this analysis of the shabby and worthless 'thinking' of many University of Chicago faculty . Milton Friedman stood for freedom, social, political, and economic. He realized that they are inextricably linked. If the government controls your job or your business, dissent is impossible. He favored, among other things, legalizing drugs, school choice,...
