Milton Friedman (1912 to 2006)

 

 

 

 

 

When we heard the news at the University of Chicago that he had died, we actually stopped arguing and were quiet for a moment. It was a most extraordinary event for Chicago economists. Each of us seemed to contemplate Mr. Friedman’s legacy for ourselves. After that bit of calm, the argument resumed. It was, perhaps, just what the old man would have wanted.

Milton Friedman: In Memoriam



July 31, 1912 - November 16, 2006

Centre for Civil Society is serving a vital role in facilitating India's movement from a centralized economy to a free private enterprise economy. Its numerous seminars and publications spread understanding... Its imaginative projects are guiding and affecting policy. ~Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman was a dear friend and advisor to CCS and his ideas provide the starting point for much of our work. To commemorate his contributions to the world, we are making available some of his work relating to India dating from the 1950s and 1960s. These papers were first published in 2000.

Milton Friedman's contribution to economics and public policy debate, is perhaps unparalleled in the second half of the 20th century. His penchant for debate and hard facts has raised the bar of pubic debate. Though Friedman is no more, our only wish is that the freedom he so strongly believed in will live forever.

Linked below are the contents of our publication "Friedman on India" and some further links to information about Milton Friedman including obituaries.
