"To call this book merely a biography of Milton Friedman is a disservice. It would be difficult to imagine a more comprehensive portrait of the influences, hard economics, and personal struggles and triumphs that shaped his life . . . [Burns] is evenhanded throughout and unafraid to critique . . . Sharp and illuminating . . . A masterful profile of a most consequential American." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "How did Milton Friedman become Milton Friedman? Jennifer Burns offers a definitive answer to the question, deftly blending the personal and professional sides of Friedman's life to paint a full portrait of the man, his ideas, his times, and his enduring influence. Husband, father, friend, scholar, policy adviser, public intellectual, and debater, she provides the full Monty on Uncle Milty." --Bruce Caldwell, co-author of Hayek: A Life "Jennifer Burns has written what will stand as the definitive biography of Milton Friedman. It is full of insight and excitement, and I learned many new things from it." --Tyler Cowen, co-author of Talent and author of Big Business "Jennifer Burns has not just written an elegantly crafted and unfailingly perceptive biography of the most influential and controversial American economist who ever lived. In narrating the long life of Milton Friedman, she has also given us a lucid history of economic thought and its outsize influence on the politics of the United States--and the world. This is a book that anyone who cares about the role of ideas in the making of the twentieth century should read and enjoy." --Michael Kazin, author of What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party "Jennifer Burns's Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative is a stunning achievement. In addition to a beautifully crafted and deeply researched biography of Friedman, Burns has given us an education in economic history and a tour of American beliefs, fears, and hopes throughout the tumultuous 20th century. She shows how Friedman revolutionized both economics and politics, and captures the nuances of a brilliant man whose work is more often caricatured than captured. She tells the stories of the hidden figures, too; the women and men whose ideas shaped Friedman's own, but whose identities were hidden by the prejudices of their day. And she wraps this all into a complete page-turner of a book." --Debora L. Spar, author of Work Mate Marry Love and Wonder Women "If you love Milton, as I do, for his intellectual honesty and devotion to liberty, you can't stop reading this graceful, balanced life of the man in full. If you think you hate him, I'll bet you also can't stop reading. You'll emerge respecting him, and seeing him not as a "conservative" but as the truest liberal of modern economics." --Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, Cato Institute "Brilliantly researched and elegantly balanced, Jennifer Burns's biography shows how Milton Friedman--argumentative, stubbornly out of step, frequently wrong and sometimes brilliantly right--became the most influential public economist of his age." --Daniel T. Rodgers, author of Age of Fracture "Milton Friedman, like John Maynard Keynes, was a political economist concerned with public policy. And both men's influence began in the twentieth century and continues today. But unlike Keynes, we knew little about how Friedman's brilliance developed--until now. Read this book and learn." --William L. Silber, author of Volcker: The Triumph of Persistence, "To call this book merely a biography of Milton Friedman is a disservice.

Synopsis
An Economist Best Book of 2023 One of The New York Times ' 33 Nonfiction Books to Read This Fall Named a most anticipated fall book by the Chicago Tribune and Bloomberg Finalist for the 2024 Hayek Book Prize "Wherever you sit on the political spectrum, there's a lot to learn from this book. More than a biography of one controversial person, it's an intellectual history of twentieth-century economic thought." --Greg Rosalesky, NPR's Planet Money The first full biography of America's most renowned economist. Milton Friedman was, alongside John Maynard Keynes, the most influential economist of the twentieth century. His work was instrumental in the turn toward free markets that defined the 1980s, and his full-throated defenses of capitalism and freedom resonated with audiences around the world. It's no wonder the last decades of the twentieth century have been called "the Age of Friedman"--or that analysts have sought to hold him responsible for both the rising prosperity and the social ills of recent times. In Milton Friedman , the first full biography to employ archival sources, the historian Jennifer Burns tells Friedman's extraordinary story with the nuance it deserves. She provides lucid and lively context for his groundbreaking work on everything from why dentists earn less than doctors, to the vital importance of the money supply, to inflation and the limits of government planning and stimulus. She traces Friedman's long-standing collaborations with women, including the economist Anna Schwartz; his complex relationships with powerful figures such as the Federal Reserve chairman Arthur Burns and the Treasury secretary George Shultz; and his direct interventions in policymaking at the highest levels. Most of all, Burns explores Friedman's key role in creating a new economic vision and a modern American conservatism. The result is a revelatory biography of America's first neoliberal--and perhaps its last great conservative.
