He was a great man and an honest economist, as such individuals come. As Rothbard once said, Friedman is great on everything, except money. He definitely did alot to spread the message of free markets and individual responsibility. The Austrians have our differences with the old Chicago School and the Friedmanites but they were always our close cousins. I am sad to state that with his death ends the last libertarian economic school outside of the Austrian school. I believe all economists should look upon him as only a soldier of freedom. Rest in peace, compatriot. Dr. Block has a great article on Friedman on Mises blog.

I disagree and here is why http://www.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard43.html
Why should it be the end of the Chicago school of economics? Is there no Peikoff to Milton's Rand? But yes, despite his shortcomings, he was an inspiration. I just downloaded all 15 hours of his special Free To Choose, so remind me to burn you a DVD of it.
