Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, New York, America. He was the fourth and last child and first son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman.

Homer Jones introduced him to rigorous economic theory, made economics exciting and relevant, and encouraged him to go on to graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics Department offered him a tuition scholarship. As it happened, he was also offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, he had definitely transferred his primary allegiance to economics.
