Friedman dead according to media reports.

 

EDIT: Alphonsin rightly beat me to it, but in my defense, it wasn't there when I posted this.

It is the economist who has died

There was nothing about at the time. But now ...

[and Reuters has it, which is good enough for me]

I apologise for my scepticism. Woohoo, graduate number 10!

Even better - it's also a hit for Deathlist's DDP team!

 

I thought that this recent dearth of deaths was going to lead to a big one by the end of the week - though I suppose in a larger context, it's arguable whether one would call Friedman a "big one."

 

No CPDP hits, but "Sunshine Stops Here" gets their first HDP hit.

damn, I forgot to put Friedman on that list. At least I have him in the sweepstake and draft pools here at home.

As things stand, I'm 2nd place in the sweepstake and 1st in the draft so if things stay as they are I'm set to win $35

Also, because he popularized the saying "There is no such thing as a free lunch" . . . in pointing out that there is a cost associated with everything to somebody, even if that person is not the end user . . .

 

I think the quote should be "Free Lunch . . . for worms"

'Inflation isn't a Communist phenomenon, it isn't a Capitalist phenomenon, it's a printing press phenomenon'...

 

A controversial figure though, ask the unemployed in Britian in the 1980s...

Milton Friedman is the 10th success of 2006.

He is the 147th success since 1987.

The 2006 list is now in 4th place shared with 1999,2000,2001 & 2002 out of a possible 20 lists.

 

Also a hit for the DDP team pushing Windsor the Troll further from the top 20...

Whoever it was who put the 'demand exceeds supply' headline, pat yourself on the back.

 

[self-satisfiedly patting myself on back]. More pleased to be first to post the news.

Ah, how these simple things make my day... Sad, I know.

How many will enjoy a 'free lunch' at his funeral?

 

This was - after all - the man who coined the phrase; 'There's no such thing as a free lunch.'

 

BBC obit.

Good riddance to a man who can could count :rolleyes: Thatcher, Regan and Pinochet as his disciples.

Hurrah!

 

Now at least this year's list hasn't proven a complete disaster, even if no one else dies. And we've still a month-and-a-half of it to go...

 

:rolleyes: GO US! :party:

I'll make a risky guess and say atleast 1 of the economists will pass on by the years end.

 

Milton Friedmen\ John Kenneth Gabrailth

 

On May 5 2005, 07:14 PM I posted this. Both influential economists failed to drop dead that year. This calender year both have met there demise. Deathlist hits double digits. Fate seems to be mocking me. But atleast his death makes up for the absence of

John Kenneth Galbraith.

Are all the regular DL-ers on a holiday or something? Friedman's death is not exactly causing a stir...
