Friedman was indeed a sophisticated theoretical mind who will continue to be read widely, but, alas, his ideas suffer from the same faults of all grand economic theorists: Those damned people and their complex behavior keep mucking up the theoretical models!

Someone asked him, across the broad span of his remarkable career, what was his proudest achievement. Without hesitating, he replied, "The volunteer army." A loud outburst of applause followed. We'll never see his like again. A few years ago I had the privilege of attending a small Q&A session with Friedman.
