Milton Friedman was definitely a great economist, Krugman who opposes most of his views wrote an article about his important contributions to economics.

There's a doc called The One Percent directed by Jamie Johnson, a young guy that was born rich (Johnson & Johnson), but is concerned about the rich/poor divide and the fact that 1% of the people control most of the wealth and are stuck-up, hierarchical little bitches. Anyways, he interviews Friedman and Friedman can't defend the result of strong influence, so his old wrinkled ass gets mad and ends the interview. So that's that.

Funny since every politician, with the exception of both Mike Gravel and Kucinich (both Democrats who vote left-libertarian), vote right-wing authoritarian. Yes, even your beloved Ron Paul votes authoritarian.
