Friedman (Milton Friedman)

Milton Friedman was a renowned economist who believed that free markets and minimal government intervention lead to economic growth and individual freedom. He argued that supply and demand naturally balance out, and government policies often cause more harm than good. Friedman emphasized the importance of monetary policy—controlling the money supply—to manage inflation and economic stability. He also promoted ideas like school choice and free trade. His work has profoundly influenced economic thought, advocating for a more limited role of government in the economy to foster innovation and efficiency.
