>> free markets and economic liberty, two theoretical constructs that learned economists of every stripe including Milton Friedman could not fully characterize <<
Sorry, but if you should dismiss Milton Friedman’s understanding of free markets with such a cavalier statement, then I have absolutely nothing to discuss with you.
Excuse me but I knew Milton Friedman. As a PhD in Statistics from one of the top 3 departments in the world, I was in contact with Milton Friedman via the Chair of my Thesis Committee who was not only a long-time colleague of Milton but also a long-time personal friend.
You’re out of your league with me. Go play among the other loud sassy mouths on FR who are more at your level.
Do not post to me again.
