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

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 😂

Milton Hershey and Milton Bradley weren't too shabby either. Man, Miltons really punch above their weight.

Reading Capitalism and Freedom turned me from liberal to conservative as a teen. Guy really knew how to communicate.

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

That was Moore? Looks like Michael Less.

If you enjoyed that I would recommend Rothbard's What Has Government Done to Our Money

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.

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.

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

Other than Hoppe, who has some redeeming qualities, why would we spread foreign-memes that undermine the mores/morals/ethics of Western-Christian civilization?
