One of the 20th century's preeminent economists and advocates for individual liberty died yesterday at the age of 94.
I first saw Dr. Friedman in a PBS video on free markets played in my high school economics class. What set the man apart from other brilliant thinkers was his uncanny ability to clearly communicate his ideas into simple terms. That attribute enabled his ideas to play out in an international arena.
We were fortunate to earn his endorsement of BUSTED, which can be seen on the back of the DVD. Interestingly, he gave us his plainly-worded endorsement based solely on his review of the screenplay. (I hope he took the opportunity to watch the complimentary DVD I sent him, but I'll never know for sure.)
He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
