Yes, I don't think it's an overstatement to say that he was one of the most
influential economists of the second half of the twentieth, maybe the whole
century.
Both Bookshare and Learning Ally have Capitalism and Freedom. He also wrote
a book considered a classic called A Monetary History of the United States
1867-1960. Somehow I thought Learning Ally had that one too, but they don't.
Bookshare does though. I haven't read any of his books, although I've
considered getting the Monetary History. I have plenty of other stuff to
read though, and I don't have a burning desire, so I'll probably pass on it.

Milton Friedman had a huge impact during the last half of the 21st
century, and was often quoted as the absolute authority in American
Economics, but in more recent times his theories have been challenged.
Years ago I read a book of Milton Friedman's...Capitalism and Freedom,
I think. I got lost somewhere in the middle.

Milton Friedman!
He's the guy whose financial shock therapies have been used in so many
countries, as well as in New Orleans. I read about him at first in Naomi
Klein's book.
