	First Measured Century: Interview: Milton Friedman
		Milton Friedman is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution.
		MILTON FRIEDMAN: Simon Kuznets was an immigrant from Russia that came to this country at the age of, I think, sixteen or seventeen or eighteen, something like that, and studied at Columbia, where he came to the attention of Wesley Mitchell.
		MILTON FRIEDMAN: I believe that one of the important factors that affected it, [that is] professional opinion, was the result of our book on the history of money, and the demonstration of the role that the Fed had played in the Great Depression.

	Milton Friedman: 1912-2006
		Friedman was one of the most influential economists in the twentieth century and probably the most famous one advocating free markets, thanks in large part to his TV series and accompanying book "Free to Choose."
		Friedman was challenged by other free-market economists, especially those of the Austrian school associated with Ludwig von Mises and F.A. Hayek, who opposed a government central bank and maintained that currency should be tied to commodities like gold, which were less susceptible to political manipulation.
		Friedman, who said he favored economic liberty for pragmatic rather than principled reasons, also came under criticism from libertarians who believed that while markets indeed are the best way to produce wealth, a principled defense of the individual liberty was necessary as well.

	Commanding Heights : Milton Friedman \| on PBS
		MILTON FRIEDMAN: Freedom requires individuals to be free to use their own resources in their own way, and modern society requires cooperation among a large number of people.
		MILTON FRIEDMAN: Nixon was the most socialist of the presidents of the United States in the 20th century.
		MILTON FRIEDMAN: Well, his ideas were not socialist, quite the opposite, but if you look at what happened during his administration, first of all, the number of pages in the Federal Register, which is full of regulations about business, doubled during his regime.

	Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Dr. Friedman began his fight for freedom in his professional work as an economist, where he was one of a handful of thinkers who rejected the nearly universal consensus in favor of government management of the economy in the mid-20 th century.
		Throughout his life, Dr. Friedman insisted that economics was his only true “vocation,” preferring to describe his broader fight for human liberty as his “avocation.” He lived to see the overwhelming consensus in favor of big-government economics completely reversed among his peers in favor of economic individualism.
		Friedman is well known as the father of the modern school choice movement, owing to his 1955 proposal for vouchers that parents could use to purchase education at the schools of their choice.

	Milton Friedman – Economist as Public Intellectual - Economic Insights - FRB Dallas
		Friedman was soon working at the NBER as an assistant to Simon Kuznets, famous for developing the national income product accounts and many of the techniques applied to them in the 1920s and ’30s.
		Friedman says he now regrets his role, although at the time he believed the new system was superior to the one it replaced (Friedman and Friedman 1998, 123).
		Given Friedman’s position at Chicago, the prestige of its economics department and the ability of his students, it is hardly surprising that monetarism caught on across the nation and became highly influential during the 1960s and ’70s.

	Milton Friedman and the Chicago School
		This label is due in part to the fact that Milton Friedman was both a student and a highly influential professor at the University of Chicago in the post-war period.
		In addition, unlike Friedman's "gentle Marshallianism" -- which permitted him to talk comfortably in the language and employ the intuition of Keynes and the Keynesians -- the New Classical modeling techniques are relentlessly formal, their language is almost Walrasian in tone, and their analysis is certainly far more unyielding than Friedman ever was.
		Friedman is notably keen at tracing the ancestry of his ideas to the seminal work of the leading Yale economist Irving Fisher (1911, 1923).

	FT.com / World / US & Canada - Milton Friedman, economist, dies aged 94
		Milton Friedman, who has died aged 94, was the last of the great economists to combine possession of a household name with the highest professional credentials.
		Friedman would then go on, however, to defend these maxims against the massed forces of economic correctness; and in the course of those defences he, almost unintentionally, added to knowledge.
		Friedman's Consumption Function was so thorough and convincing in its marriage of theory and data that it convinced many economists who far from relished the political implications.

	Milton Friedman, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Milton Friedman is the twentieth century's most prominent economist advocate of free markets.
		In 1976 he won the Nobel Prize in economics for "his achievements in the field of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy." Before that time, he had served as an adviser to President Nixon and was president of the American Economic Association in 1967.
		(Friedman is a passionate foe of the military draft: he once stated that the abolition of the draft was the only issue on which he had personally lobbied Congress.) Although his book did not sell well, many of the young people who did read it were encouraged by it to study economics themselves.

	Dynamist.com: Milton Friedman's influence on monetary policy
		With Milton Friedman's ideas now accepted by theorists and policy makers, it's easy to forget how revolutionary they were.
		"Friedman's monetary framework has been so influential that in its broad outlines at least, it has nearly become identical with modern monetary theory," said the Federal Reserve governor Ben S. Bernanke, at a recent conference at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
		Friedman argued that "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." Inflation had nothing to do with aggressive unions, greedy businesses or even oil cartels -- the bad guys who took the blame in the confusing 1970's.
