Amazingly enough, not long after I started consuming all things Friedman and Thomas Sowell - my wife pointed out that I was passing by Milton's signature daily. Turns out he officiated my wife's grandparent's wedding way back in the day! I was passing by his signature on their framed wedding license hanging in our own home - how cool is that?! LOL 😂
Agreed. I was hooked when he succinctly dismantled young Michael Moore's emotional argument about assigning a prescribed value to a human life and punishing a company vs the concept of ensuring that laws exist to compel companies to provide consumers with the necessary information to make an informed, risk/reward decision (else be punished). Two totally different concepts laid bare with brutal honesty regarding free will. The "Free to Choose" vids are terrific! https://youtu.be/Bb7Fi8I-qOk
Yeah he had some significant wacky new policy ideas that actually had/would've had terrible consequences. Sometimes people like him who think so theoretically can be the worst at foreseeing practical outcomes. His big picture explanations are valuable despite it though. Same with lots of philosophers, like Aristotle, obviously one of the greats of civilization despite his fucked views on slavery and women.
Other than Hoppe, who has some redeeming qualities, why would we spread foreign-memes that undermine the mores/morals/ethics of Western-Christian civilization?
Love Milton Friedman!
“People vote with their feet”
He had such charm and was also 100% a savage in debates or when answering questions at events.
That was my favourite. He was savage and brutal but always with a smile. I loved it

MILTON FRIEDMAN IS A COMPLETE DUMBASS THAT HAS BEEN REFUTED BY MISES AND AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS
Throw a little Peter Schiff in the mix fam.
Milton Berle wasn't to shabby either.
Milton Hershey and Milton Bradley weren't too shabby either. Man, Miltons really punch above their weight.
I prefer Milton Waddams.
big grains of salt!
I'm disappointed no-one has mentioned the King of the Miltons - Milton the Monster =/
What about John Milton?
He's good, but he's no Milton Obote.
Idi Amin Dada enters to overthrow the chat
Reading Capitalism and Freedom turned me from liberal to conservative as a teen. Guy really knew how to communicate.

That was Moore? Looks like Michael Less.
Ahahaha! Michael Moore, proving that commies always have and always will be smoothbrains.
If you enjoyed that I would recommend Rothbard's What Has Government Done to Our Money
Rothbard = based
I liked the book, too, overall. I disagreed with the part where higher education should be tax-payer funded, because he is an academician after all.

We need more Friedman memes!
Deep Friedman memes!

And Rothbard, Hoppe, Ayn Rand is memes all the way down...

That man got me through so many essays in business school
