Friedman predicts volatility tops economy debate in Stockholm
Nobel laureate Milton Friedman warns the current volatile economy will either slide into hyperinflation and radical change or drift toward chronic inflation with less government. He argues laws of supply and demand shape equilibrium, not government tinkering. He criticizes price indexing welfare states and full employment policies as inflation drivers. Friedman defends market forces while noting unemployment concerns and a limited government role.
