Milton Friedman (1912–2006), one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, was born in New York to Hungarian immigrants. He made significant contributions to both theoretical and applied economics, initiating the monetarist movement and founding the Chicago school.
Friedman served as an advisor to several U.S. presidents, known for his sharp intellect and clear communication style, which helped popularize economic concepts among policymakers and the public. He championed the wealth-generating power of free markets and challenged the dominant Keynesian economic policies of the 1940s-60s. His views gained prominence during the oil crises of the 1970s, leading to a paradigm shift in economics and policy. In 1976, he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his work on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and the complexity of stabilization policy.
Friedman's ideas had a profound impact on economic policy and academic thought, solidifying his legacy as one of the most influential economists of the 20th century.
