But to be fair, it is nowhere as bad as "Capitalism and Freedom" by Milton Friedman.

This information doesn't surprise me... (and other self-acknowledged ignorant drivel)

I'm very interested in hearing criticism of Milton's book, if either of you wish to post a link, or simply point out any bad arguments or evidence. He strikes me as so logical that an illogical leap pointed out would change my opinion of him quite dramatically (assuming he refused to correct it).

I've read a bit of Keynes, Greenspan, Freedman and Hazlitt, and while each would like to portray themselves as bearers of seemly-obvious previously obscured enlightenment, clearing our eyes of mud and showing us their truth, they all conveniently or from understandable ignorance neglected certain facts and come to dubious conclusion (of which I've only learned from equally brilliant minds or their own retraction). None the less, I've learned a great deal from them all and judge each by the others.

But I too would like to hear from the greater geniuses of this forum, specific critiques of Freedman and Hazlitt.

(Rand's writing style, proving 'fact' through fiction, was more than I could tolerate)
