MILTON FRIEDMAN, GURU OF THE LEFT?
One of the contributors to the discussion on the post below offered a reminder that “Capitalist modes of production are a neccessary prerequisite for moving beyond capitalism! This is the point that Marx and Engels made in various of their works. I think this fact has been forgotten and I suspect the blame lies with Lenin…”
In a similar spirit of provocation, Stephen Pollard reclaims Milton Friedman for the left - or rather, suggests that Friedman’s Public Choice approach has been adopted by Ken Livingstone and Alan Milburn.
