is milton friedman the greatest economist to ever live?

1) It's Stiglitz.
2) Not really it's actually Von Neumann and Nash but neither were poor enough mathematicians to be economists.

no.

he truly believed that the free market would be the best, most efficient and responsive means for supplying human needs.

anyone who paid any attention to the world would instantly see that this is false.

markets in some commodities are useful, but basic human needs that can only be provided for with complex processes which are costly cannot be met by free market solutions.

collective (ie government) control and supply is necessary.

Friedman was a con artist.

Reaganite's wet dream, but ultimately not viable. Profit cannot be exclusive of humanity's health/survival. A choice must be made; sadly it's become a global class war that most people are neck deep in, but ignorant of.
