Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman was an American economist who became one of the most influential and controversial figures of the twentieth century, widely recognized for his profound contributions to monetary economics, consumption theory, and the defense of classical liberalism. A leading figure of the Chicago School of Economics, Friedman challenged the prevailing Keynesian consensus that dominated mid-century policy and instead placed monetary policy at the center of economic stability, arguing that changes in the money supply were the primary drivers of inflation and fluctuations in output. His groundbreaking permanent income hypothesis reshaped the study of consumer behavior by suggesting that individuals make spending decisions based on long-term ex

I moved to Russia in 1999, after growing up in mid-Wales and studying at Oxford University. I had no particular plan, beyond a desire to learn Russian, but got a job at a local magazine and realised I liked finding things out and writing about them.
