As for Brat’s calvinistic capitalism, I’d like to find Milton Friedman’s grave so I can piss on that evil fucker for spawning shitheels like this “economist.”

Eh, I wouldn’t blame Friedman for Brat. Loons like Brat have been a constant feature of American politics since the beginning. They just get to dress up their paranoid lunacy in more “respectable” terms by superficially borrowing from people like Friedman.

Friedman, for instance, saw the value of monetary policy in easing recessions. His prescription for the 2008 collapse likely would have been exactly what Bernanke did. Meanwhile, the “mainstream” right position these days is to abolish monetary policy entirely and go back to using seashells for tender.
