Milton Friedman 1912-2006

Here’s his autobiography from the Nobel Prize Web site.
In 1980, Friedman made the series Free to Choose on PBS (note irony). Here are some clips from YouTube.

Today Alan Greenspan said of Friedman:

He had been a fixture in my life both professionally and personally for a half century. My world will not be the same.

Here’s Ben Bernanke on Friedman’s 90th birthday:

Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.
