Milton Friedman - Rest In Peace
The Nobel winning economist Milton Friedman has passed away at age 94. Mr. Friedman did much of his early work here in Chicago at the University of Chicago in the Hyde Park neighborhood before moving to Stanford University in 1977. Among Mr. Friedman’s accomplishments was to help with the birth of the financial futures markets at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. Friedman is survived by Rose his wife of 68 years and a noted economist in her own right and their two children Janet and Dave. Mr. Friedman’s economic ideas have helped spur the incredible post WWII growth experienced by the free world that has lifted millions out of poverty. We all owe a debt of gratitude to the legacy and the life of Milton Friedman. Rest in Peace.

Mr. Rider, Long time no habla. Yes, Milton Friedman was a worthy man, an intellectual warrior for freedom. In a far away land, my economics students put aside their planned lesson and instead read and contemplated the obituaries of Mr. Friedman and the impact he had on their world and young lives. RIP, Milton
