Today is the 99th Birthday of Milton Friedman, one of the most important economists of all time!
We remember him with this Friedman quote and video below (H/T to Don Boudreaux for running the quote at his fine blog, Cafe Hayek):
When “fairness” replaces “freedom,” all our liberties are in danger. In Walden, Thoreau says: “If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.” That is the way I feel when I hear my “servants” in Washington assuring me of the “fairness” of their edicts.
