About Milton Friedman
Milton Friedman (1912–2006) was an American economist, born in Brooklyn to immigrants from Austro-Hungarian Ruthenia. He taught at the University of Chicago from 1946 to 1977, where he became the leading figure of the Chicago school, and later was a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution. His work on consumption, monetary history and the theory of money won him the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1976. With his wife, the economist Rose Director Friedman, he wrote Free to Choose (1980), which accompanied a ten-part television series.
