If censorship is measured by the effort made to silence a person, which
economists have been subject to more censorship than Milton Friedman?
Is this a rhetorical question? Or is this man vieing for having his name
used in the quote dictionary as the penultimate example of the "guys [who]

Robert Leeson has done a great job documenting the disgust of Patinkin and
Harry Johnson at Friedman's methods. Johnson, I believe, called him a
crook. I don't know how Leeson would like me to treat his article, but it
is a wonderful read. He has done another great one on Stigler, who was
