Heh “ the Nobel Prize “. I remember being in second grade and how we treasured those little stars that our teacher would reward us with. There were different colors representing different values the most valued was the gold star. Then one day on my way to the Saturday matinee I stopped off at Shaws variety store to get my pea shooter and supply of peas. It was then that I noticed the little boxes of stars of all colors. And I could get all I wanted for the price of a pea shooter. I spent my money on the pea shooter which to me still had some value. Gee I was so much wiser then.
We got the stars too. I don't think the Nobel Prize is meaningless, but there has been some funky stuff in the the politics of who does and does not get one. I just don't know about the merit of all of Friedman's work, but I doubt his callous disregard for his sense of responsibility to society would have pleased the founder of the the prize. Clever people can be cads. Friedman's formula is a patent recipe for sociopathy, and it's not like "no one could have predicted it". Look up the British East India Company.
