Peter Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I became a conservative because of my father, Ronald Reagan, and Milton Friedman. Sadly, all three have now passed away. They were all great men. Milton Friedman Dies at 94
stuckincincy Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Sorry for my additional post, Peter...didn't notice yours; I've deleted mine. RIP for Friedman. A notable influence in our society.

Milton Friedman Dies at 94 838964[/snapback] Something that might surprise some here, the first economics (related) book I read was "Free to Choose." The irony.... RIP M-1 Milton....

TPS Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 But is it still part of the book collection?RIP 839306[/snapback] Absolutely. Every Econ book I ever read is on the shelf. My favorite shelf is in chronological order, beginning with the "Wealth of Nations." It's unfortunate that Milton and Maynard never met--that would've been quite a debate. By the way, I own two books by Milton. The second is "Milton Friedman's Monetary Framework: a debate with his critics."
MrLocke Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 As a Libertarain. I say thank you to Milton. He made universities a more palettable place for libertarians. I am more of a philosopher and know Hayek had a huge influence on him.

I have not, but was wondering whether you recommend it. It is supposed to be great.
