  • lol, Donahue doesn't understand how monopolies are created at all. Free markets destroy monopolies, governments create them.

  • @seppsters Thank you.

  • @seppsters I did not know that! I often said I agreed with him on 99% of things, because the 1% I didn't was his Monetarist beliefs. I'll have to look this up to confirm it, but I had no idea Milton Freidman changed from a Monetarist to someone supporting the abolition of central banking by the state!

  • @StorminNormin1977

    Towards the end of his life he defended the abolition of the Fed.

  • Mediatic respect died in the 80's

  • Wrong: Friedman wants to abolish most of the federal agencies.

  • Friedman would like to privatize almost every fed agency we have, except military. He thinks we should spend more. Our nation's debt can be tied to buy hi-tech aircraft at trillions of dollars (and the number of jobs created in the military industry don't make a debt in unemployment for the nation. FDC says their budge has been slashed to where they cant attend to issues our public wants answers response to. free enterprse is necessary but weve replace the above with corporatism.

  • @StorminNormin1977

    The Austrians support a government controlled Gold Standard -- an anti-libertarian stance. Friedman said the gold standard might make sense under 19th century standards, when non-defense spending was 3% of GDP. Now it's 24% of GDP. Milton Friedman is the greatest monetary theorist in history. You are not even qualified to disagree with him.

  • Has Friedman's view on millitary spending changed as he got older???
