"Mr Friedman, who coined the phrase 'there's no such thing as a free lunch', was awarded the Nobel Prize for economics in 1976.
"Known as the high priest of monetarism, his ideas gained popularity in the 1980s when they influenced the policies of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan."
The story does not record the number of people who were thrown out of work, or otherwise impoverished, as a result of his ideas, though the obscenely rich will no doubt be lavish in their praises.

Good riddance to Friedman. I'm sure not going to miss him.
If there are any RIPs to be given on this day, they should go to Bo Schembechler.
