Yes, he was a legend in his own time, that is until he tarnished his legacy by COMPLETELY WHIFFING on The Great Recession..

What do you mean, you "hope?"
There's other options?

Perversely, I am fascinated by the articles on his life and jobs...the summaries help me understand the complicated economic world he lived in...though not for one second did I see him as a good thing for America and Americans...cutthroat capitalism looks good from a distance some of the time, as the pockets of those "in the market" get fuller, and the paychecks of the poor get smaller. His economic policies were inevitably going to unleash more and more global warming dangers, as regulations on the polluters and the big oil boys...hindered his market theories.

I've never met a Chicago School economist who wasn't personally a cold fish. Smart, but missing some crucial human element.

Two guys, one woman. The guys are husbands of my wife's friends. Condescending AF.
