Milton Friedman was many things and GENIUS is among them.
The "father" of Monetarism for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1976.
Friedman studied, and later taught, at the University of Chicago was a Keynesian at first but then took a different view. According to Friedman, inflation was a monetary phenomenon i.e. when money supply outpaced output = inflation.
One of his best known works is the Theory of the Consumption Function, which says that people's spending habits are shaped by their expectations of future ("permanent") income rather than their current income.
He was very influential in the Reagan Administration since he was a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board. Ben Benarke (current Federl Reserve Chairman) is widely thought to be a Monetarist.
Milton Friedman's colleagues & students (The Chicago Boys) helped Chile turnaround its economy.
Milton, we shall miss you!

kudri - I think there are restrictions in the law against printing money but when has the law stopped politicians?

I didn't see a story on the poodle.
I cant believe it, he is gone.I read an Anecdote about how he charged CBOT to do a paper that eventually jump-started the Forex Derivatives biz.
I apply that lesson in my life.
ke - Checked again again but no article on AW aka the poodle...
Your Posts are very insightful. I want to say something that furthers the discussion on Milton Friedman...
but I confess...you know more about Friedman than I do and my economics professors were always
"Friedman this Friedman that". I was always more into Keynes.
I will now have to dust off some of my old textbooks to get a closer look at Milton Friedman-Thanks. Hey thanks for commenting on my blog too!
Benin - Economists can do little if the will is not there. In Africa's case even a Nobel Prize winner's theory achieves little UNLESS the incompetents are replaced.
