Milton Friedman: Rutgers Man

Milton Friedman, the 94 year old economist, is profiled and interviewed by Rutgers Magazine. His stories of living and working as a student in New Brunswick are relevant today. In particular, his tale of how he and his roommate purchased white socks and green ties in bulk, to sell to freshman, reminds me of the endeavors of one of my roommates, who dealt in cigarettes and Cabbage Patch Kids (no kidding, bought them in bulk, sold at 200% markup and better). My roomie has since moved on to bigger schemes .

So has Milton Friedman.
