Ovo je čuvena slika Miltona Friedmana i Georga Stiglera. Ono što je Friedman bio u makro, to je Stigler bio u mikroekonomiji. U Chicagu su ih zvali Mr. Macro i Mr. Micro. Ali u fizičkom izgledu je bilo obratno, Friedman je ovaj levo, sa 160 cm.

G. Mikro i g. Makro
Ovo je čuvena slika Miltona Friedmana i Georga Stiglera. Ono što je Friedman bio u makro, to je Stigler bio u mikroekonomiji. U Chicagu su ih zvali Mr. Macro i Mr. Micro. Ali u fizičkom izgledu je bilo obratno, Friedman je ovaj levo, sa 160 cm.
Milton Friedman (1912 - 2006)
Umro je verovatno najveći ekonomista 20-og veka. Jedino se Keynes sa njim mogao meriti po akademskom uticaju, ali su se na kraju Keyenesove teorije ispostavile pogrešnim. Današnji kejnzijanci su bliži Friedmanu nego Keynesu. John K. Galbraight se mogao porediti po popularnošću, ali Galbraight je, iako sjajan pisac, bio beznačajan kao akademski ekonomista. I na kraju, Hayek i Mises su cenjeniji od Friedmana među libertarijancima, ali nikad nisu otišli daleko izvan tih krugova. Hayek donekle jeste, ali je danas poznatiji po svojoj političkoj i pravnoj filozofiji nego po ekonomiji.
Sećanja i biografije su od sinoć svuda po internetu, ali evo nekoliko najboljih linkova:
Pomen Federalnih rezervi i Bena Bernankea.
Stih na blogu Davida Friedmana, Miltonovog sina, ali i doktora fizike, profesora prava i ekonomije, i velikog anarhiste.
Milton Friedman hor. Link je već bio na ovom blogu, ali ko nije video neka ne propusti, jer ovo najbolje govori o Friedmanovom uticaju. Hor kritikuje Friedmanov članak "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits" koji je tada zgrozio levičarsko javno mnjenje.
Walter Block iz ličnog ugla, sa lepim anegdotama.
Samual Britain iz Financial Timesa ima potpuniji prikaz sa dosta biografije.
Milton Friedman je poseban zato što je bio veliki i kao monetrani ekonomista i kao libertarijanac i popularizator liberalnih ideja.
Kao ekonomista -- dobio je dve najveće nagrade, John Bates Clark za najboljeg američkog ekonomistu ispod 40 godina i Nobelovu. Početkom 1950-ih je sam krenuo u borbu sa vladajućim kejnzijanskim teorijama i u narednih 20-ak godina posle mnoštva akademskih radova i obimne studije Monetarna istorija SAD preokrenuo struju u svoju korist. Najvažnije, taj akademski rad nije bio u kuli od slonovače nego je imao direktnog uticaja na monetarnu politiku i zaustavljanje inflacije u SAD i širom sveta.
Kao popularizator tržišnog liberalizma -- imao je redovnu kolumnu u Newsweeku i gostovao u TV emisijama da bi objašnjavao principe slobodnog tržišta. Snimio je čuvenu TV seriju Sloboda izbora iz koje je nastala i knjiga. Dve njegove popularne knjige Kapitalizam i sloboda i Sloboda izbora prodate su u milionskim tiražima.
Kod nas su prevedene tri Friedmanove knjige. Dve pomenute popularne objavio je Global Book 1990-ih. Treća, što je manje poznato je Teorija novca i monetarna politika koju je objavio Rad 1973. ili negde u to vreme. Može se još naći u bibliotekama Ekonomskog fakulteta ili NBS.

Iz Melburna - realno
Pogledajte ovo pismo čitaoca iz Vremena. Čovek objašnjava kako komunizam na Kubi sjajno radi. A on za svaki slučaj živi u Melburnu.
In memory of Milton Friedman
Tužna vest. Milton Friedman je umro. Slava mu...Ovo su napisali ljudi iz nemačkog liberalnog think tanka Institut für Unternehmerische Freiheit (Institute for Free Enterprise):
Milton Friedman, the grand gentleman of libertarianism, passed away a short while ago. Dr. Friedman was born July 31, 1912 and was 94 years of age. Dr. Friedman was the recipient of the Nobel Prize in economic sciences in 1976. But he was most widely known as a great popularizer of classical liberal ideas through his television series and book Free to Choose, which he co-authored with wife Rose, who survives him.
Dr. Friedman was the son of Jewish immigrants from what is today the Ukraine. He was educated at Rutgers University and the University of Chicago, an institution that practically became synonymous with his name because of his 30 year teaching career there. He earned his Ph.D. in 1946 from Columbia University.
Friedman, with Dr. Anna Schwartz, authored A Monetary History of the United States which argued that the Great Depression was the result of bungled policies by the American Federal Reserve Board. On the occasion of his 90th birthday then Fed official, now Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke quipped to Friedman: "Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry."
Dr. Friedman was not just an advocate of economic freedom. He was an advocate of freedom across the board. He was a vocal advocate of the legalization of drugs arguing that the regulations only made the harm greater and did little to protect people. As an adviser to Richard Nixon, he was a major proponent of abolishing military conscription in the United States.
He also advocated school vouchers, an idea he put forward in his book Capitalism and Freedom in 1962. To further promote the idea of competition in the field of education, he established the Milton and Rose Friedman Foundation. He was a president of the American Economic Association and a founding member and president of the Mont Pelerin Society, an international organization of free market academics.
In 1988 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also described his political views as libertarian. He said: "I think the term classical liberal is also equally applicable. I don't really care very much what I'm called. I'm much more interested in having people thinking about the ideas, rather than the person."
Dr. Friedman is survived by his wife of 68 years, Rose, his daughter Janet, his son David, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by the many people who came to love and admire him for his great advocacy of individual freedom. He was one of the greatest lights of liberty to ever shine in the world. And he will be sadly missed.
