Milton Friedman
Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around.
Milton Friedman
You mustn't judge a politician by talk. You have to judge them by performance.
Milton Friedman
If you look at the balance sheet, the US is heavily in debt. If you look at the income account - the amount of interest the US pays abroad - it is almost exactly equal to the amount of interest that it receives from abroad. American assets held abroad are earning a higher rate of return than foreign assets held here.
Milton Friedman
The facts never speak for themselves. They have to be interpreted in terms of some understanding of where they come from and what the relation between them is.
Milton Friedman
Statistics do not speak for themselves.
Milton Friedman
The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.
Milton Friedman
