Nobel economist Friedman challenges full employment goal
Nobel Prize economist Milton Friedman warned that the volatile economic climate demands either radical change or acceptance of persistent inflation. He called the goal of full employment a false notion, arguing supply and demand should set economic balance, not government tinkering. He criticized price indexing and welfare state policies, saying government action often worsens inflation and misallocates resources.

OPEC price rise could lift U S gas prices
OPEC ministers eye a price increase of 15 to 25 percent for oil, a move likely raising U S gasoline by about a penny to two cents per gallon if fully passed on. Analysts note inflation impact, with some support for a moderate rise and others pushing higher to offset imports.
