Milton Friedman - A Brief Obituary

David Laidler

No 20071, University of Western Ontario, Departmental Research Report Series from University of Western Ontario, Department of Economics

Abstract: Milton Friedman is rivaled only by John Maynard Keynes as the most influential political economists of the 20th Century. His approach was that of a classical liberal, rather than a conservative, though this put him on the political right in the United States. Friedman’s work demands to be evaluated all of a piece, but his outstandingly important technical contributions to economics influenced the development of the discipline in ways that extended far beyond the purview of any particular political agenda.
