Tribute to economist Milton Friedman Nov. 30 11:37 a.m., Nov. 21, 2006--Faculty from the UD Department of Economics will host “Remembering Milton Friedman,” a one-hour public lecture honoring the late economist's contributions to economics and society, at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 30, in 115 Purnell Hall. The talk is free and open to the public. Friedman, the Nobel Prize winner in economics in 1976, had a profound impact on his profession and public policy around the world. Intellectually active until his death, Friedman, age 94, died on Nov. 16. In his obituary, The New York Times stated, “Friedman...advocated an unfettered free market and had the ear of three U.S. presidents....In more than a dozen books and a column in Newsweek magazine, [he] championed individual freedom in economics and politics. His theory of monetarism, adopted in part by the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations, opposed the traditional Keynesian economics that had dominated U.S. policy since the New Deal.” For more information, call (302) 831-2565. |
