R.I.P. Rose Friedman
by Jon Caldara | 4:01 pm, August 18, 2009 | Comments Off
The wife of one of the greatest economists the world has ever known died today of heart failure. Rose Friedman, who happened to be a damn good economist in her own right, was believed to have been 98 years young. I’ll never forget the day when I met both Rose and Milton Friedman - I walking into an elevator as they were walking out. The elevator doors opened and I couldn’t help but blurt out, “Has anyone ever told you you guys look just like Rose and Milton Friedman?!” To which they replied, “Well, that’s because we are!” And so we went and ate breakfast together. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I mean, it’s on the same level for me as getting to hang out with Pete Townshend. Doesn’t get much better than that. Rest in peace Rose, you and Milton will be truly missed.
In honor of both Rose and Milton, I urge you to watch the series Free to Choose, available in its entirety online here.
