And so he would have these, he had a studio separate from the house. He would go and he would work. And then at night, his friends would come. His friends are all economists. There's a whole like cluster of economists. They all clustered within driving distance of the Dartmouth Library so that they could get their hands on books.

And so they would come over and then they would argue and talk into the night. So I think he did need that deep focus time. But it was not like he also lived a very engaged, very embedded social life.

They did. I mean, they were very complimentary. They were kind of the yin and the yang. She was very introverted, somewhat suspicious of others, skeptical. And he was extremely extroverted, optimistic, optimistic. high energy. And they also were at a time when it was really clear, like, for broader society, these are the roles of a man, these are the roles of a woman.

And they pretty much adopted those. Now, Rose Friedman did some very important economic work. She's part of the early stages of the theory of the consumption function. She didn't complete her degree because she really knew there wasn't, if she wanted to be married and have children in the world she lived in, there wasn't a real pathway to also being an economist.

You know, I do think that a lot of that, it's not, although it feels very gendered, like, you know, he's the man out in the world and she's in private. It's interesting because her brother, Aaron, director, was the same way. He was a very private man, very shy, very introverted, and he exerted this, like, quiet intellectual influence on all of his friends.

So I think that was just kind of a family trait of being more quiet, preferring to be behind the scenes. It wouldn't have worked any other way because Friedman was so out there So, you know, so extroverted. And there's a bit of a sad thing she said. She said, when I married Milton, I lost half of my conversations. When David came along, I lost the other half.

So this is a household that was just dominated by male voices in which she didn't have a lot of room. What was tricky for me in my research is she didn't leave much of a trace. She put together Milton Friedman's archive and she took herself out of it. So I really had trouble finding her actual voice in the historical documents. And she didn't want to leave that behind.
