Milton Friedman (no relation to Kinky) passed away today.

He was one of my personal heros, a brilliant Nobel-prize-winning economist.
I read his book Free To Choose a long time ago, which shaped my whole view of economics.

I'd recommend his books to anyone who has a desire to learn the way real-world economics works. Especially you students who think Karl Marx knew what he was talking about.

RIP, Mr. Friedman, you were a great force for good.
