Again Friedman never was a libertarian. You know so little and sound so pompous

The distinction (Chicago School/Libertarian) was never important to what I wrote, because the Pope never addressed monetary policy or other specifics. The Pope's ideas are contrary to libertarianism broadly. Friedman himself never resisted the libertarian characterization:

He said that he was a libertarian philosophically, but a member of the U.S. Republican Party for the sake of "expediency" ("I am a libertarian with a small 'l' and a Republican with a capital 'R.' And I am a Republican with a capital 'R' on grounds of expediency, not on principle.")

Milton Friedman (as a part of Libertarianism Series)
