Abstract
BOOK REVIEW Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative, by Jennifer Burns (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 592 pp., $35) Though standing around five feet tall, Milton Friedman was a giant among economists in the 20th century. Friedman earned the highest recognitions an economist can receive: the John Bates Clark Medal, the presidency of the American Economic Association, and the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Burns does not shy away from highlighting blind spots from which Friedman may have suffered, which included his penchant for viewing economic-policy advice as medicine and economists as analogous to Doctors without Borders.
