How can an economist be a freedom fighter? This question was posed to me last week at the Libertarian National Convention. The person who I was discussing this series with meant well. I am sure when they think of freedom fighters, the image of Samuel Adams or Geronimo arise in their mind. To be sure, those are freedom fighters. To many, the image of an aged man, dressed in a suit, sitting in a blue chair before a studio audience takes little courage. I disagree; all activists find their own way.
Speaking truth to a submissive populace can be more influential and certainly more peaceful. Milton Friedman brought his Nobel Prize winning economic ideas to the American people at a time when the free market was considered fringe and was not only unpopular, but viewed by the public who were brainwashed to accept collectivist and socialist ides, as uncaring and selfish. Friedman made the topic of capital and finance fun and witty. Without his charismatic voice, the new popularity of both the Chicago school of economics and the Austrian school would not have enjoyed the resurgence they do today. The prevailing economic thought of Libertarians would be non-existent; the economic voices of the past and future would be shared unto deaf ears. Ron Paul, Adam Kokesh, Tom Woods, and scores of other free market thinkers would not be welcomed with the reception they do without those Donahue interviews in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
