只是在过去10年或15年里,米尔顿·弗里德曼才受到实事求是的看待:在世的二次大战后最有影响的经济学家。几十年来,弗里德曼——现年85岁,早已从芝加哥大学退休——被视为富有才华的被放逐者。他颂扬“自由”,赞美“自由市场”,并攻击大政府。在一个政府看来是大多数社会问题的解决办法的时代,他是一个心甘情愿的持不同意见者。 Only in the past 10 or 15 years has Milton Friedman been treated with sincerity: the most influential economist alive after the Second World War. For decades, Friedman, now 85, has long retired from the University of Chicago - is seen as a talented exile. He celebrated “freedom,” praised the “free market,” and attacked the big government. In a time when the government appeared to be the solution to most social problems, he was a willing, dissenting man.
