"Free to Choose," the video series done by PBS, is one of the few things PBS has ever done that is worthwhile. Even today, nearly 30 years later, it's appropriate.

PBS should rerun the "Free to Choose" series in honor of Milton Friedman.

FReepers should suggest the idea to PBS.

Can suggest idea to PBS conveniently here

Example note:

Dear PBS,

Please honor the life and work of the 1976 Nobel Prize winning economist, Milton Friedman, who recently passed away, by replaying the video series previously aired on PBS: "Free to Choose". "Free to Choose" is timeless and was very well done. Today, nearly 30 years later, the content is directly applicable.

PBS should rerun the "Free to Choose" series in honor of Milton Friedman.

Great idea!! Bump

Great idea.

Was that the one that had Arnold touting the free market? If so, it shows that Arnold at least *wanted* to be an economic libertarian/conservative.

I know this sounds corny...I never knew either of my grandfathers. But now I feel like my Grandfather just died.

I was an Economics major in college at the same time Milton Friedman was advising President Reagan. (of course, my Econometrics class computer study in the 80's resulted in a prediction that the US GDP would be 0 by 1996. I tried to tell Friedman and Reagan. But there was no such thing as e-mail at the time. Thankfully, it just turned out that my computer program was wrong and I had no idea what I was doing.) Somebody should make a posthumous gesture to rename "Reaganomics", give it the proper name it deserves "Friedmanomics". John Maynard Keynes was a socialist, and Friedman began his writing and his teachings in opposition before the Berlin Wall fell and before the USSR and Communism was proven to be a failed ideology once and for all.

He was a man ahead of his time. This shouldn't be a sad time. If we all had the impact of Milton Friedman and lived 93 years on this planet, our funeral should be a celebration.

Thanks for everything Mr. Friedman. Deepest condolensces to his family.
