Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman was an American economist and statistician best known for his strong belief in free-market capitalism. During his time as a professor at the University of Chicago, Friedman developed numerous free-market theories that opposed the views of traditional Keynesian economists. In his book A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960, Friedman illustrated the role of monetary policy in creating and arguably worsening the Great Depression.
