Milton Friedman on Economics - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 409 Economic theory/Friedman: among his colleagues, Friedman, who apparently was never plagued by self-doubt, was widely regarded as the great simplifier who was able to bring economic interrelationships to the point with public appeal, but who liked to ignore the complexity arising from technical counter-arguments. >M. Friedman. KrugmanVsFriedman: Paul Krugman saw the ideologist as the third facet of Friedman's personality alongside the economist and the economic policy advisor; his public economic policy recommendations always had concerns about his intellectual seriousness (Krugman 2007) (1). SolowVsFriedman: Robert Solow joined in. People like Friedman are bad for the economy as well as for society, and debates with them are a waste of time (Solow 2013)(2). >P.
