Abstract

When I first received Milton Friedman’s letter in response to my article “Hayek’s Road to Serfdom” I did not realize it would lead to more. Over the past few years I have shared these letters with several colleagues, friends, and students. However, such are his fame and accomplishments that I thought these back-and-forth letters might be of interest to a wider audience of the Journal of Libertarian Studies (JLS) readers.
