[Randex]Milton Friedman, 1912-2006

[O-Land News Junkie]

[Friedman] gained a great deal of prominence in the 1970s and won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1976 for "his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history, and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy." It was during this period that, along with Murray Rothbard, F. A. Hayek and Ayn Rand, he became influential in the emergence of libertarianism and the Libertarian Party, though he himself remained a lifelong Republican.
