The Ultimate Civil Warrior Milton Friedman at 90
Milton Friedman spoke at a Drug Policy Foundation conference in Washington DC where the socialist remark sparked consternation. He argued that government control of drugs mirrors failures in mail, education, health care, and housing, markets should replace political mechanisms, and repeal of prohibition fits broader limits on government power. Sullum notes Friedman's pragmatism, willingness to challenge both left and right, and influence on Republican policy shifts toward vouchers and market-based reforms.
