Why it’s on the list: Milton Friedman’s 1962 case that economic freedom is a precondition of political freedom — and the source of the “ideas lying around in a crisis” thesis I keep coming back to.

Where I heard about it

  • On Jay’s investing reading list — a Google Sheet of 92 books by discipline, saved in Kyle’s Roam notes on April 15th, 2020 (Jay’s Investing Reading List). Jay’s reason: “Understanding free-market econ”
  • Utopia For Realists — cited there for the “ideas lying around” line, which two of my notes on that book anchor on.
  • Brendan McCord — on his Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List, under Chicago School Economics.
