Milton Friedman's theories and influence bred an ugly precedent of laissez-faire economics that served as justification for the "haves" and the "have mores" to re-write business with a War and Peace-sized tome of loopholes, breaks and advantages that place them further and further away, socially and fiscally, from the "have-nots". It's the reason workers are now seen as a disposable liability rather than your company's most valuable asset. It's the reason that people like Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Chuck Keating, The Bushes and Cheneys of the world, Larry Elison, Carly Fiorina and Chainsaw Al Dunlap were/are the shitbags earning the fury of the millions of people they screwed over while running business affairs. It's the reason American CEOs make 400 times more than their average worker. No surprise that his son advocates anarcho-capitalism.

And as silly as this all is, I'm quite positive Johnny wouldn't care one way or the other.
