What is so dangerous about Friedman is his tendency to discuss some complex issue in light of some pithy quote or anecdote he pulled out of his hat. With this sort of amorphous experiential knowledge, he can throw empirical discussion out the window and focus the discussion around proving his warped ideology. Whenever Friedman or any other commentator offers you a simple, distilled, easy-to-remember explanation of economics or politics, run for the hills.
