Probably one of the most influential people of the 20th century...

Probably among the most articulate and persuasive economic figures in history.

Quote:

Edward Crane, founder and president of the libertarian Cato Institute, said, "Milton was in my mind the greatest champion of freedom in the 20th century. He was a warm, intelligent, wonderful human being and will be deeply missed."

"Milton changed the direction of the world," observed Crane, who recalled attending a conference with Friedman in China in 1988 where Friedman was received "like a rock star" for his reputation as champion of free markets and a free society. "His first policy concern was freeing people from government influence in their lives," said Crane.

Only thing that I really hold against him is playing a role in the creation of the payroll withholdings scheme.
