@HeerJeet @MattBruenig I don't think Friedman was nearly the public intellectual he's made out to be, not least for the reason's you state.

@HeerJeet@MattBruenig I think@tylercowen's argument that Friedman was his era's Krugman is right, not least because of his intransingence. -
@PeejLoewen@MattBruenig Might be a question of national differences. Compare Europeans Polanyi & Hayek with Americans Friedman & Krugman. - Show replies

@HeerJeet@MattBruenig But he was also probably deserving of two Nobels. His academic contributions were incredible, much more than Hayek. -
@PeejLoewen@MattBruenig Well to academic economics, maybe. But Hayek is a figure comparable to Marx or J.S. Mill. Transcends academy. - Show replies
