Re: Milton Friedman and Trofim Lysenko (4.00 / 4)
It applies most of all to the US and Soviet governments. Flawed theories are a dime a dozen. What matters is the endorsement/enforcement by government officials (and, in the US case, corporate elites).

I will be with you here... the disciples did not distort Friedman as much as Darwin disciples distorted Darwin....

Friedman did embrace a propaganda structure besides his books on monetary policy.
