Friedman was the main guy justifying trickle down economics in the 80s, that gave rise to the massive wealth inequality and techno oligopolies with great power today.

He was also a buddy of Chile's brutal dictator Pinochet and helped him create a neoliberal economy.

Not a man I would follow for advice.

He wasn't a buddy of Pinochet.
