He's 3 years younger than Milton Friedman.

True, but Friedman is not categorically refuting his entire life's work at this late stage in life.

This is not to say that bed side conversions are not valid, but from what I read of your excerpt it seems that Mr. Samuelson is assuming the American work force is not flexible enough to adapt to evolving labor market conditions.

In any event, the genii is out of the bottle and Mr. Sameulson's parting shot from his bed and Mr. Bhagwati's response will make interesting reading.
