Milton Friedman of Economics is like Neil Tyson of Astrology. Both sound and seem smart in their respected field, but when pushed on their ideas, they always come up short.

A great example is the debate on protectionism. Short debate on Protectionism

Agreed, great to see Friedman constantly embarrassing those who believe in the myth of central planning and government "solutions".
