Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman (born July 31, 1912) is a U.S. economist, known primarily for his work on macroeconomics and for his advocacy of laissez-faire capitalism. In 1976 he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics "for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy." His ten-part television series Free to Choose, aired on PBS in early 1980 and coauthored with his wife Rose Friedman, was made into a book that became his most popular.
