Happy 99th Birthday, Milton Friedman

The great and happy warrior for freedom and capitalism, Milton Friedman, was born 99 years ago today. The Heartland Institute celebrated with friends and supporters on Friday.

Nick Gillespie of Reason, who we’ll be hosting for a “Heartland Happy Hour” on August 16 (register to attend here), narrates this short video that explains that the “Century of Friedman” is really only getting started.
