While surfing commentary on Friedman's legacy I found this interview. He makes the most compelling and persuasive defense of free-market capitalism and limited government that I have ever read or heard. Well worth seeing. If it doesn't pop up automatically click on the video on the right entitled 'Milton Friedman on Open Mind.'

Milton Friedman, ZT'L, did more then just defend free-market capitalism. His ideas literally saved the Western world from hyperinflation and economic stagnation. Some countries, including Chile (from the collapse caused by Allende's mismanagement) and Israel (from the obscene hyperinflation of the early 1980s), his ideas may have literally saved period.

I would say it's more than arguable that Friedman ranks up there as one of the 50 people of the 20th Century who did the most to advance the human condition. . . maybe right below Jonas Salk.
