Celebrating Milton Friedman (2012)

# list compiled by BFIVideos
To celebrate the centenary of Milton Friedman's birth in 2012, the Becker Friedman Institute hosted a panel and dinner on November 9, 2012. Two panels paid tribute to the wide range and lasting influence of Friedman's work. "Public Policy and the Role of Government" (with Edward Lazear, James Heckman and Kevin Murphy) focused on both policy and methodology. "Monetary Policy and the Macroeconomy" (with Robert Lucas, Allen Meltzer and John Taylor) delved into macroeconomic and monetary policy. Gary Becker delivered the keynote address after dinner, a fitting tribute to Friedman as a scholar and colleague. Join us with this playlist in sharing both highlights from the celebration and the full panel and keynote address. We have also included Friedman's 2007 memorial service and reminiscences from colleagues.
