Legendary Nobel economist Milton Friedman dies
Afp, San Francisco
Top US officials mourned yesterday the death of Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, whose ideas helped power a conservative policy revolution in the 1980s. Friedman died of heart failure Thursday at the age of 94 in San Francisco, California, near Stanford University where he taught most recently, friends and associates said. Friedman won the Nobel prize for economics in 1976 and his thinking greatly influenced former US president Ronald Reagan and ex-British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
