Happy 100th birthday, iconic economist Milton Friedman, author of Capitalism and Freedom. (via explore-blog)
*smacks on nose with newspaper*
NO.
There’s this thing called history, especially in the 1960s, and this other thing called Latin America… check them both out in regards to Friedman. I’m not railing against explore-blog, but thank sweet baby unicorns this man is dead. There is NO SUCH THING as a laboratory for economics, or there wasn’t before Friedman came along. If I were to say there is ONE REASON for the horrors of capitalism, its absolutely Milton Friedman.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read more political economy (critically). This man was terrible. Sabes? Si? Es verdad?!
