Milton Friedman
by Lars Christensen
I have myself written a book on Milton Friedman. Unfortunately for non-Danish-speaking audiences, it’s in Danish. In that book I called Milton Friedman a pragmatic revolutionary. What Milton Friedman did, both in his academic work on economic theory and history, monetary policy and so forth, and as a policy advocate deeply engaged in policy debates, was to take things and make them very, very easy to understand. And he was able to convince people of his argument by making those arguments very logically.

Monetary policy isn’t just about setting interest rates and if we think about it in those terms, we’ll never really understand it, says Danish economist Lars Christensen. Here, he recommends books to better understand monetary policy, and explains why reading about the past is so important for avoiding mistakes in the future.
