Goodby Mr. Friedman

Today I learned the sad news that Milton Friedman has died at the age of 94.

I greatly enjoyed reading his books and found his theories and ideas to be brilliant and insiteful. He pioneered ideas that were considered ridiculous when he proposed them but are now taken as fact and recognized as common sense.

I highly recommend his book Free to Choose to anyone even remotely interested in economics or politics.

Update:
I found an Wall Street Journal obituary detailing a couple of his many achievements.
