Friedman

Confession: I have gone my entire adult political life without reading or listening to Milton Friedman. I agree with his political economics (because Reagan did), but my experience with him is second-hand. After watching this, I need to go find a copy of Capitalism and Freedom and read it.

This interview is from December 1975, but it's funny/sad that, with the exception of a handful of data points (ie. minimum wage at $2.50), Friedman could very well be describing the political and economic climate of today. The clip is 28 minutes long, but well worth it.
