Happy New Year! To start off the year right, let’s have a look at a mock-up of a debate between Naomi Klein, reporter-activist extraordinaire, and Milton Friedman, king of economic liberty (via Instapundit).
This video was put together by Devil’s Advocate at Copious Dissent, where you can find the others in this series.

More evidence that Naomi Klein is a nit wit-Update- Links fixed!
Lance on Oct 02 2007 | Filed under: Developmental economics, Economics, Lance's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
Alan Greenspan allowed her to prove it of course, but she also is pretty much making things up in this attempt to slander Milton Friedman.
I say pretty much because she is showing little to no originality as this lie, and there is no other thing to call it, has been spread for many years. I […]
Lessons From Delaware
MichaelW on Aug 22 2007 | Filed under: Domestic Politics, Economics, Law, Libertarianism, MichaelW's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
It’s been said before, and I’ll reiterate it now, that if you want to reduce the amount of influence that money and special interests have over the federal government, then you need to reduce the amount of power that Washington wields. Without the power, the politicians have nothing to sell.
In that vein, Jon Henke […]
“The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer”
Lance on May 04 2007 | Filed under: Developmental economics, Domestic Politics, Economics, Lance's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
Uh, no.
For those who haven’t taken the time to watch these videos, or missed this television series, I give you the most important graph that few people care about as shorthand for your enlightenment. Especially those who claim they are concerned about the poor while doing everything in their power to undermine the growth of […]

Michael Yon’s second installment in Desires of the Human Heart is up. Here is where to find part one.
Key points:
There were many family members around, and though the men were happy to see us, they seemed skeptical that we are going to stay, voicing concerns that our soldiers have come there before, but not stuck […]

“Milton Friedman Day” Part II
Keith_Indy on Jan 30 2007 | Filed under: Domestic Politics, Economics, Keith's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
Found this today over at the National Review with some important things to say about how Milton accomplished what he did. A lesson we should all take to heart in our quest for accomplishing change in our government.
But now to an important question for Milton Friedman Day: How’d he do it?
The quick answer is […]

Friedman’s impact on history isn’t limited to economic prosperity. Joseph Bast, president of the Heartland Institute, explains Friedman’s legacy: “It was explaining the relationship between economic freedom and all our other civil freedoms. […]
Pinochet: R.I.P…..Actually not - Updated
Lance on Dec 10 2006 | Filed under: Developmental economics, Foreign affairs, History, Lance's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
It is time to memorialize the passing of one of the lesser bastards, but a true bastard, of the last century. Augusto Pinochet has left the scene, my only problem being he never spent time in prison for his crimes. I understand why he didn’t, and in the great scheme of things it may […]
Milton and Augusto-Updated
Lance on Dec 07 2006 | Filed under: Domestic Politics, Economics, Foreign affairs, Lance's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
One of the things which was brought up after the recent passing of Milton Friedman was his “support” of the Pinochet government of Chile. Never mind that giving economic advice which led to a freer society does not mean support. Let us also ignore that while Pinochet may have ruled as a dictator, he also […]

Brad Delong and Keynes’ star pupil, Milton Friedman
Lance on Dec 01 2006 | Filed under: Developmental economics, Domestic Politics, Economics, Lance's Page, Milton Friedman Memorial Page
Brad Delong had a nice post on Milton Friedman after he died. One of the amusing aspects of it was reading the debate in his comment section about what Brad had written. The vitriol and hatred was a bit overboard and there was a fair amount of incredulous disbelief at Brad’s remarks.
Delong of course […]
