What Would Milton Do? (WWMD?)

by | 1:45 pm, July 21, 2010 | Comments Off

There is no economist on earth, past or present, who did more for popularizing free market ideas than Milton Friedman. In a lot of ways, Milton was ahead of his time. When the world was turning towards the disastrous ideas of John Maynard Keynes, Friedman pushed back and helped the ideas of freedom gain a stronger foothold. School choice, vouchers, privatization, deregulation, an all volunteer military, and inflation control are all ideas we can thank Milton for championing. We owe Milton a debt for leaving this world a lot more free than when he entered it. So the least we could do is get together on what would have been his 98th birthday weekend to celebrate the man’s incredible life.

Therefore, we are hosting our annual Friedman Legacy for Freedom Day on Friday, July 30th (Milton’s birthday is actually July 31st). The event will be held at the Reiver’s Bar and Grill, from 5:30 to 7pm, down in the Wash Park area of Denver. We will be celebrating many of his ideas, but most importantly, the tried and true concept of “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” Demonstrating the accuracy of this wise theory, we will not be providing any free lunches. See, Milton was right. Instead, we’ve hired some professional quiz show guys to put on a Milton Friedman game show chock full of audience participation and wonderful competitive spirit. If you know economics, you’ll enjoy it. If you don’t know economics, we’ll enjoy making fun of your answers.

But in all seriousness, come on out and celebrate this great man’s life. Let’s continue honoring his legacy by sharing his ideas and paying for our own lunches. Because that’s what Milton would do.
