I was lucky enough to come across this collection of tv shows from 30 years ago with economist and libertarian Milton Friedman hosting. 10 parts – 10 hours. I believe they were originally aired (believe it or not) on PBS.
What makes it truly interesting is the formatting, where one half of each show is devoted to practical and historical examples of theory while the the other half is a moderated discussion with reps from government, academia, and business. It is something to see Thomas Sowell, Frances Fox Piven, and Donald Rumsfeld commenting from way back then. Could be yesterday.
I didn’t realize how much I miss Milton Friedman until I went through this series. Apparently, 2012 is the 100th anniversary of his birth.
I hope these links are new and prove useful and entertaining for you and your readers.

In the interest of remedying this deficit, let’s watch and learn from Maggie Huang and her friends, as they nourish each other’s souls with a stirring rendition of My Name Is Palestine.

Nashville native Kitty Wells, aka The Queen of Country Music, has passed away at the age of 92. Her old-timey, squarish phrasing and unglamorous, modest, everywoman voice sounds rather unhip compared to some the gaudier starlets of today’s country music, but she did have a slew of Top Ten hits: here’s one from 1955 called Making Believe.
