Por si no lo sabían ayer fue Milton Friedman's Day.
Aquí está el link al artículo de Krugman sobre Milton Friedman, que se mencionó en algún comentario. Si quieren saber más sobre MF, aquí hay información del programa de PBS sobre su vida que se transmitió ayer.
Recuerden que hace unas semanas había publicado un post previo sobre Milton Friedman con algunos links interesantes.

Gerardo,
Existen datos como para hacer la siguiente evaluacion que hace Krugman en el articulo que recomiendas para el caso mexicano?
"We have data on the real income—that is, income adjusted for inflation—of American families from 1947 to 2005. During the first half of that fifty-eight-year stretch, from 1947 to 1976, Milton Friedman was a voice crying in the wilderness, his ideas ignored by policymakers. But the economy, for all the inefficiencies he decried, delivered dramatic improvements in the standard of living of most Americans: median real income more than doubled. By contrast, the period since 1976 has been one of increasing acceptance of Friedman's ideas; although there remained plenty of government intervention for him to complain about, there was no question that free-market policies became much more widespread. Yet gains in living standards have been far less robust than they were during the previous period: median real income was only about 23 percent higher in 2005 than in 1976".
No soy economista, y quizas haya trabajos al respecto. En todo caso, agradeceria cualquir referencia al respecto.
Saludos,
