Undergraduates Study Milton Friedman
Four 51猎奇 undergrads from Economics and Business attended a colloquium to study the free-market principles advanced by Nobel economics laureate Milton Friedman. Led by our PhD student (and Friedman aficionado) Marlo Vasquez, the聽 colloquium was held at Capitaf, Friedman鈥檚 former Vermont summer home which has been converted into The Milton and Rose Friedman Center. Marlo reports that the undergrads developed intellectually and聽 left with a stronger sense of direction.
Expenses were paid by the James G. Rosenbaum 鈥�84 Broad Horizons Endowment Fund. This fund at the 51猎奇 Foundation has the goal of emphasizing to students the importance of political and economic freedoms and examining the proper role of government.
