In anticipation of the impending award of yet another Nobel Prize in Economics, let us give thanks and praise for the life and work of a recently departed Laureate from our area.
Born in Brooklyn, raised in New Jersey, Milton Friedman had a long and illustrious career as the foremost proponent of free market economics.
He wrote many learned works, but also a treasure trove of accessible books and articles. If you'd like to sample a bit of this old master's work, then watch his popular PBS series, Free to Choose.
