His work on related to inflation and quantity of money supply is extremely important.

Tonight when I am home and am near my library...will try to type some quotes from "Free to Choose" in his honor.

His work on school choice/market based solutions for school reform should be central to any conservative platform in America. Conservatives should highlight the inverse relationship between test scores and the cost of education between government mandated schools (~$8400 per student), and private schools (~$4500 per student) and homeschools (~$1000 per student).

“What is needed
in America is a voucher of substantial size available to all students, and free of excessive regulations”

What is needed is to get government out of the education business altogether.

I once had Milton Friedman as a "substitute" professor. We were all amazed when he walked in.

A good Friedman book to read, for those who aren't very familiar with his work, is Capitalism & Freedom.

That's what I loved most about him. His championing of school vouchers saved many American kids, It will continue to do so in the future.
