About Milton Friedman
Milton Friedman (1912–2006) was an American economist and statistician who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. He was a leading figure of the Chicago School of Economics and served as an advisor to President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. His work profoundly shaped modern economic policy around the world.
Friedman believed that economic freedom is a prerequisite for political freedom, and that free markets, limited government, and individual choice are the foundations of a prosperous and just society.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch."
"The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both."
"Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."
