It's bizarre to see all the comments posted immediately on this video unanimously dismissing him. I lean left, but Friedman was a genius and intellectually honest and worth listening to, even if you disagree with him (and I disagree with him plenty). Just a good reminder how warped some of these subreddits are that we are dismissing Milton Friedman entirely. In this same Q&A he goes on to talk about the rights of gay people and legalizing drugs in the 60s/70s.
Watching Friedman on Donahue is such a wonderful experience. When Donahue welcomes him on the show he says something along the lines of "We may not always agree, but every time we talk, I always understand exactly what you mean." He very clearly respected Friedman because he realized that he was both intelligent and honest.
