Who's Afraid of Milton Friedman?

Who's Afraid of Milton Friedman?

The American left despises Milton Friedman, blaming him for everything from neo-liberalism to designing authoritarian regimes all over the world. Yet Friedman's economic model has worked everywhere it has been tried. The idea that this history of consistent success is now outdated is at odds with both history and logic. In this episode of 'Civitas Conversations,' 'Outlook' contributor Michael Munger joins host Richard Reinsch to discuss his recent essay 'Milton Friedman Lives!' ‍

Civitas Conversations features leading scholars, commentators, and thought leaders for in-depth discussions of the latest essays in Civitas Outlook—and the ideas behind them.

A production of the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
