Essential Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman, regarded as one of the most influential economists in history, has transformed the way economists think about consumption, money, stabilization policy, and unemployment. By committing oneself to a few simple assumptions about human behavior and rigorously following their logical implications, Friedman has demonstrated the power of his approach. He introduced innovative methods of data interpretation, testing his theories based on their ability to explain various phenomena. His remarkable successes have been widely replicated by others in the field.

To fully capture Friedman's remarkable contributions to economic theory, practice, policy, and literacy, several extensive volumes would be required. The following brief chapters will provide an overview of the content that could be found within those volumes.
