Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
I am not jewish. How can I be ? I was born into a christian family. Er well I am atheist so I think Judaism is just as superstitious as any other religion. However having had a close friend that was jewish and being an erswhile scientist ( aka engineer) I have collected an appreciation of jewish culture. One of my 3 favorite jews died recently. Milton Friedman, we conservatives will miss you.
Back in the 70’s when precious little consolation was to be had for us conservatives Milton Friedman was there giving us hope. Hope that socialists ( read democrat ) would not eventually be able to squeeze every bit of liberty out of our daily lives. This was before Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge or the internet. This was when the democrats had been in power so very long that they were able to lopp off a sitting president in spite of the fact he only did the same things His immediate predecessors did. This was when Reagan got so close in ‘76 that you could smell victory only to have the Republicans nominate the slow witted Gerald Ford.
Milton was a gift. What a gift to humanity.
