One of the greatest proponents of individual freedom and individual
choice, Milton Friedman was a teacher, scientist, author, revolutionary
intellectual, and winner of the 1976 Nobel Prize in economics. On

Friedman's impact on American life and business and the spread of
the benefits of free markets to nations around the globe. As part
of this commemoration, the Manhattan Institute has gathered a number
of respected figures who will discuss the Friedman legacy and celebrate
