#457 โ€“ Jennifer Burns: Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Economics, Capitalism, Freedom

Because no Federal Reserve chair wants to be in Friedman and Schwartz 2.0 that somebody writes, or they're the bad guy who let the economy melt down. So the specifics of what they say to do have obviously evolved as the system has changed. But this is a playbook for how to deal with economic crisis. It's Friedman and Schwartz. And so it's absolutely fundamental.

Yeah, so the other piece of the puzzle, when he goes to Rutgers, he thinks he'll be an actuary. So Milton Friedman's family, his parents are immigrants, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.

They're pretty atypical in that they don't stay in New York, you know, and they move to Rahway, New Jersey, and they put together a fairly middle-class life as kind of, they have a shop, they do some wholesale buying and selling, and then his father dies when he's 16. His life becomes more precarious, but it's never as precarious as he makes it out to be. He's got three older sisters.

They earn a good living. Incidentally, they all have better grades in high school than he does, but he's the one that goes to college. But it's actually really important that he loses his father figure because he's then looking for other father figures, and he meets two at Rutgers. One is Arthur Burns, who will go on to haveโ€” a huge influence in his career. No relation to me, by the way.
