New at Reason: Damon Root on the Left's Misguided Hatred of Milton Friedman
In early 2009,
stickers began appearing on walls, bus stops, and newspaper stands
in Washington, DC featuring Milton Friedman's smiling face above

Misery." But as Associate Editor Damon W. Root writes in our
May issue, by making a principled case for free markets,
international trade, and individual rights, Friedman actually
helped create the opposite of global misery.
