Excellent article. Thank you for linking to the HuffPost blog entry, which I never would have seen otherwise. It is truly interesting to see the levels that some "enlightened" progressives will sink to in order to make themselves feel big.

Damn, did anyone see that article on the Socialist Worker site?
Frothing.

Also interesting is how the far left thinks Friedman was the impetus behind the Chilean reforms when is was really Arnold Harberger...I guess facts can's stand in the way of religious fervor...

Brian, a lovely article. I'll be buying your new book when it comes out. Promise!
There have been a slew of terrific pieces about the great man in recent days and they are all justified. I have read some of the nastier pieces about him, but they reveal the authors to be very malevolent folk indeed, as Ayn Rand might have put it.
They are all up there now: Rand, Hayek, Von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Nozick, Henry Hazlitt, Harry Browne, Adam Smith.....It is going to be quite a gathering.

I'm shocked to see that my comment on the HuffPost wasn't allowed to show up. Still, thank you again for the article and the link, Brian.
