Sowell on Friedman Sowell on Friedman

Thomas Sowell has an eulegy for Milton Friedman in the WSJ titled: Freedom Man. Another reminder that we lost one of the greatest economists of all time last week.

Last night I watched a couple hours of a PBS interview of Friedman and again marvelled at the man. One of the things that I was struck with is that I agree with his philosphies more than anyone else's I can name. Paraphrasing on of his statements, he marvelled that we could elect politicians to office so that they could spend our own money bribing us to relect them. Of course, he said it much better.
