R.I.P., Milton Friedman
Milton Friedman, one of few living people I considered a personal "hero", has died at 94.
Per The Economist's "Free exchange" blog, "An economics giant, he not only revolutionised monetary theory, but singlehandedly did more than almost any economist in history to advance the cause of free markets."
And freedom in general.

Yeah, but the cause of death is unknown. I think he was killed by an "invisible hand."
