This is the first biography of one of the 20th-century's greatest economists. Friedman is an icon for libertarians, conservative economists, and free-market advocates. Over the past decade, Ebenstein has interviewed and corresponded with Friedman countless times. Ebenstein has written two books on the less well-known economist Friedrich Hayek with solid sales. Friedman's theories on market behaviour and monetary policy are continually relevant and constantly debated. He is nearing the end of his career, he turns 94 this year, making this a good time for a retrospective. Milton Friedman is one of the world's most important, and certainly one of the most famous, economists of the second half of the twentieth century, a key figure during the resurgence of American conservatism. Ebenstein's book is the first to chronicle Friedman's life and development as an economic theorist.
