Reviews

A major virtue of Cord and Hammond's collection is that it presents competing, sometimes quite dissonant, opinions about Friedman's accomplishments. * David Laidler, University of Western Ontario *


A major virtue of Cord and Hammond's collection is that it presents competing, sometimes quite dissonant, opinions about Friedman's accomplishments. * David Laidler, University of Western Ontario * This huge feast of a book offers a choice of 40 servings presented over a range of five courses on one of the twentieth centurys economic giants. * Alex Millmow (Federation University, Australia), Economic Record *
