Milton Friedman compie 94 anni. Quello che di lui disse David Boaz qualche anno fa non ha ancora perso di valore.
Buona liberta' di scelta a tutti.
He has said that he is a libertarian philosophically but a member of the U.S. Republican Party for the sake of "expediency" ("I am a libertarian with a small l and a Republican with a capital R. And I am a Republican with a capital R on grounds of expediency, not on principle.") But, he says, "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."[8]
According to Harry Girvetz and Kenneth Minogue, Friedman is co-responsible with Friedrich von Hayek for providing the intellectual foundations for the revival of classical liberalism in the 20th century.[10]
In 2005, Friedman and more than 500 other economists, called for
discussions regarding the economic benefits of the legalization of
marijuana.[11]
