Economist Friedman dies aged 94

Truly the end of an era. I would often disagree with him, especially during his Chilean experiment, but must admit that he presented his arguments with style and panache. His son David is one of my favorite libertarian thinkers, and he posted a most appropriate tribute to his father today.

R.I.P.

Lady Thatcher leads tributes to US Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman who has died aged 94.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
