Question Biography Inventor
Hi, friend
So, here are some questins about Biography Inventor
I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the
fourth and last child and first son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno
Saul Friedman. My parents were born in Carpatho-Ruthenia of the Soviet
Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York.
When I was a year old, my parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town
about 20 miles from New York City.
I was awarded a competitive scholarship to Rutgers University. I
graduated from Rutgers in 1932. I financed the rest of my college
expenses by the usual mixture of waiting at tables, clerking in a retail
store, occasional entrepreneurial ventures, and summer earnings.
Shortly, however, I became interested in economics.
In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable
men: Arthur F. Burns and Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my
understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest
scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent
career. Homer Jones introduced me to rigorous economic theory, made
economics exciting and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to graduate
work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics Department offered me
a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also offered a scholarship
by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I had
definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won
the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields
of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his
demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. In 1977, at age
65,1 retired from the University of Chicago after teaching there for 30
years.
