I heard the story originally in a book by Thomas Sewell, who I believe
was a student of Friedman at Harvard.

Thomas Sowell, who holds the Rose and Milton Freidman chair at the Hoover
Institution at Stanford. I believe (but could be wrong) that he studdied
under Freidman at the University of Chicago. I seem to remember him
making that comment in an editorial a couple of years ago, but can't find
a reference right now.

Thanks for the correction. It's been a few years since I read his book.

Here it is:

He is astoundingly conservative, so the book was lots of fun to read and
argue with. It was lent me after a heated conversation with a co-worker.

Another fun author of economics popularization/history is Todd G.
Buchholz. It's also possible that I read the reference in one of his
books, of which I own two, "From Here to Economy", and "New Ideas from
Dead Economists". He is also very conservative. He was Chairman of
George HW Bush's council of economic advisors.

It is a common example, so I'm sure economics professors the world over
use it when explaining the power of the free market.

How DO you say your name? As I read along I pronounce it in my head just
like the word "grease." My apologies, if that's wrong. ;-)

Who gives a damn how the derelict pronounces his name. He is a total
non-entity on this newsgroup with zero knowledge of electronics. All the
worthless "space taker" does is shoot his mouth off with off-topic
generalities and a pretense to wisdom and expertise- your typical
run-of-the mill wannabe and fake in other words..."grease" fits the heap
of garbage very well.

It's pronounced "Gryce," rhymes with "nice." In German, it's "Greiss",
which either is a very old man with a long beard, but very wise; or that
which has been ground through the mill. Either way, surprisingly
appropriate. ;-) And my first name, "Richard", means "rich in heart." You
can draw your own conclusions from that.

For those who slept through fourth grade grammar, it's "long 'I', silent
'e'." ;-)

Thanks!
Rich

No, it doesn't.

 

[Don Pearce]

No, it doesn't.

It means brave and powerful, from Ric - power (germanic, root of
reich), and hard - brave.

OK, I'll take it.

Thanks!
