Ha fallecido Milton Friedman

No es una tragedia, ya que M. Friedman ya contaba con nada menos que 94 años. Pero se nos va un enorme pensador, que aunque haya leído pocos de sus libros, ha influido enormemente en mi forma de pensar.

Hace un par de meses se nos fue Revel, bastante más joven y creo que le hubiera gustado poder escribir más sobre todo lo que está pasando. Pero, en fin, así es la vida.
Que en paz descanse. Sus libros y su pensamiento permanecerán en la historia.

Milton Friedman, economist, dies aged 94:

Milton Friedman, who has died aged 94, was the last of the great economists to combine possession of a household name with the highest professional credentials. In this respect he was often compared to John Maynard Keynes, whose work he always respected, even though he to some extent supplanted it.

Moreover, in contrast to many leading economists, Friedman maintained a continuity between his Nobel-Prize winning academic contributions and his current journalism. The columns he contributed to Newsweek every third week between 1966 and 1984 were a model of how to use economic analysis to illuminate events.
