Friedman was a free market supporter. Oh, he was? That's awesome. But have you ever stopped and wondered why you hear the phrase "free market" ten times a day? If the market is free then how come 65 percent of new businesses manage to collapse sometime in their first decade? That can't be the market's fault though, right? The market is free. Free. Free market, free market, free market. Side: Karl Marx

Although Friedman was an great economist with respect to triangular intervention Milton was a useful idiot who empowered the ruling class. His theories were debunked time and time again but nobody was interested. For example, he claimed in Capitalism and Freedom that the more capitalist an economy is, the more equal it is. I mean, that could literally be framed as one of the most stupid things any human being has ever written. Side: Karl Marx

Side: Milton Friedman
When it comes to economics, Friedman is one of my favorites since Adam Smith. I've looked into the Libertarian economists and Friedman seems the most realistic and least idealistic of them all (of course, more realistic and least idealistic than any popular economist.) Marx's Communism was almost pure ideology. Not that his philosophy is, necessarily, wrong, and in many ways I agree with him. But Marx did not seem to be focused on realistic economics or even realistic portrayals of human beings. Marx is focused far more on a utopia, one that I sort of agree with (I still believe in property rights, though), than he is on trying to create a realistic economic system like Friedman was.

Marx did not seem to be focused on realistic economics Ah, "realistic". That word which is basically like a blank Scrabble tile and can be used in place of a sound argument. I don't care if it's right because it's not realistic!!! Lol. Listen pal, if there is one thing we have learned about life it is that it adapts to its environment. For the first 100,000 or so years we lived, slept and ate in groups. That means, at one time, capitalist economics were completely unrealistic. Side: Karl Marx

Even though Friedman was a brilliant economist in terms of triangular intervention. According to animated video services company he still had little faith in the free market when it came to money, military, and police, and was in favor of taxation and government spending. Side: Milton Friedman
