One of the greatest proponents of individual freedom and individual choice, Milton Friedman was a teacher, scientist, author, revolutionary intellectual, and winner of the 1976 Nobel Prize in economics. On January 29th, numerous events are being organized to celebrate Milton Friedman’s impact on American life and business and the spread of the benefits of free markets to nations around the globe. As part of this commemoration, the Manhattan Institute has gathered a number of respected figures who will discuss the Friedman legacy and celebrate the life of this extraordinary champion of individual and economic freedom. We hope you will join us.
