'A worthy homage to Friedman's ideas.' - The Financial Times '[A] rounded, readable portrait of a man whose impact on the lives of millions in the 20th century is measured not by his opponents and enemies, but by the individuals he converted.' - The Chicago Sun-Times 'Quite handy. It marshals lots of material, and to devotees the bibliographical essay at the end may be worth the cover price in itself.' - The Economist 'This biography doesn't skimp on the details of Friedman's life. Well written, thoroughly researched, and easy to read, it successfully explains how Friedman's ideas continue to resonate.' - Library Journal 'A surprisingly readable, succinct portrait of the combative economist.' - Bloomberg News 'Ebenstein covers a lot of material with an engaging, lively style.' - Democracy 'An absorbing book about the life, battles, and some of the ideas of a great economist. Definitely worth reading to help understand the development of an extraordinary individual.' - Gary S. Becker, Nobel Laureate in Economics 'Lanny Ebenstein gives us a careful and illuminating exposition of the life and ideas of Milton Friedman. A genuinely rewarding read.' - George P. Shultz, Thomas W. and Susan B. Ford Distinguished Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University, USA 'A powerful book about the most influential economist since Adam Smith.' - Martin Anderson, former Domestic and Economic Policy Advisor to President Reagan
