Mises once got angry at a meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society and called Friedman, Hayek, et al. "a bunch of socialists". It is hard to imagine him describing the editorial board of "The Economist" as 'classically liberal'.
- npongratz 13y agoI'm intrigued and would like to read more about this. Would you happen to have a link to a description of the episode?
- nickff 13y agoI got the anecdote from the documentary "Commanding Heights: the Battle for the World Economy", where Friedman himself relates the story. Below is a link to the video clip.[1] There is also a Reason interview transcript where the same story is retold by Friedman.[2] In addition, it is mentioned on Mises' Wikipedia page.[3] [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkQfK8hn0ds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkQfK8hn0ds [2] http://reason.com/archives/1995/06/01/best-of-both-worlds http://reason.com/archives/1995/06/01/best-of-both-worlds [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Mises http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Mises
