The Romance of Economics
Milton and Rose Friedman: Dinner with Keynes? Yes. War with Iraq? They disagree.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--One doesn't interview a man like Milton Friedman--the Nobel laureate in economics in 1976 and among the five or six most consequential thinkers of the 20th century--without doing some assiduous homework.

From the article you linked to:
By his desk hangs a map of Belize--one of those stylized souvenirs made of cloth, embroidered to catch the eye. Why, I asked him, did he have a map of Belize on his wall? Mr. Friedman turned, looked at the object, and said: "I don't know. I really don't know."

LOL, I love people like that.

Thank you for the link. It was a very enjoyable read. I remember reading "Free to Choose" many years ago. I don't believe I ever finished the book (that was because I often don't finish books), but it was quite good.
