An Attack on Friedman from the PC Crowd

I received an email yesterday, from a very smart man who happens to be a professor of sciences in one our top institutions. He wrote: “Been stunned by the number of free market folks who squeal for interventions. I am appalled at the looting.” Free market capitalism is now under attack from every two-bit “progressive” seemingly everywhere. It seems as if the US is swerving ever more deeply into the world of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged—the looters want control and seem to be taking it.
