The Legacy of Milton Friedman
A complete examination of the legacy of Milton Friedman, the high priest of the Chicago School of Economics and libertarian icon. Our story begins with the work of John Maynard Keynes, arguably the most influential figure in economics since Adam Smith. Understanding Keynes is paramount to understanding Friedman who spent a lifetime trying to unravel the fiscal and social welfare programs that developed during the Keynesian era. We look at the seminal events that shaped both men and the impact their work had beyond the halls of academia.
