Friedman: He was an economic scholar especially on money supply and inflation (which few understand) trained in what used to be the amazing conservative University of Chicago Dept of Economics. He and his lectures and interviews about freedom and the free market used to be all over YouTube where I spent a lot of time studying and learning from him. I’d go to YouTube first.
His thrust and influence gradually became more about freedom from government than about scholastic economics although a lot can be learned about money supply and inflation. He won a Nobel Prize and wrote a lot of books. Maybe his best book was “Capitalism and Freedom” (he later dropped the noxious term “capitalism” - a Marxist term - for “The Free Market Economy”, MUCH better).
Judge Robert Bork: Considered the leading constitutional scholar of our time. I learned so much by pouring over his book, “The Tempting of America.” I highly recommend the book. It is dense reading, but well worth it. If you make it through and understand what he is saying, you’ll be ahead of most in understanding the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.
I read “The Tempting of America” before I went to law school so I had to reread some of it before I understood what he was even saying. That book taught me a lot more than some of the stuff in law school.
Thanks, Jim.
I will definitely look up Friedman on youtube. Capitalism did become a negative, thanks to the left. Free Market Economy far better, and true.
“That book taught me a lot more than some of the stuff in law school.”
That’s impressive.
of Bork I mean, and his book.
