printGreg Ransom has compiled articles in memoriam, as well as past interviews with Milton Friedman, all at the PrestoPundit blog.
Walter Block’s tribute is lovely. You should know that Friedman also opposed the war in Iraq. His stance was very couragious, considering the formidable opposition he was up against: Rose, his wife. She supported the war.
There is also the (possibly apocryphal) story that Milton Friedman regretted having created income tax withholding because Rose disapproved of it.
Milton Friedman was heroic in his contribution to the pursuit of life and liberty. The only thing I didn’t like about him is the only thing that Ayn Rand didn’t like about him, though I would prefer to be more tasteful than she: that Friedman felt that morality and economics should have nothing to do with eachother. That’s like advocating the legalization of drugs and having no opinion on whether or not it’s actually okay to use drugs. But without a code of ethics, freedom can actually be worse than government interference.
Nonetheless, he was a good man, who made a good influence, and he will be missed.
