Milton Friedman Interviews

Check out these two interviews with Milton Friedman at EconTalk. In the first Russ Roberts talks with Milton Friedman about his research and views on inflation, the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, and what the future holds - note the discussion of New Zealand; while in the second Roberts talks with Friedman about the radical ideas he put forward almost 50 years ago in Capitalism and Freedom (still well worth reading). You can listen to the most influential economist of the past 50 years discuss the principles of liberty, social responsibility of business, the inertia behind bad legislation and his career as economist and public intellectual. Well worth listening to.
