Vale Milton Friedman

The world economy owes you a great deal.

Truly a sad day. I’ll drink a free trade tawny port in his memory, placing it carefully on a cocktail napkin with a sketch of the Laffer curve.

And the current crop of “conservatives” are certainly making him roll over in his grave.

Hannity/Rush/Savage/Bush Co. etc have as much in common with Friedman conservatism as James Watt did with environmentalists during the Reagan era.

a nice thread meant to honor the recently deceased…and it only took 3 posts until the bush bashing began. have you no shame?

back to the topic, as an economics major i foundly remember studying, reading, and applying friedman’s theories in the classroom. quite an intellect and it would appear he was a very decent fellow as well. thoughts and prayers to his family.
