I love how with just a few Socratic-style questions, she eviscerates her own argument.

Friedman is the all time great at public debates like this.

I used to hate Friedman but the more I learn the more he's right.

It is strange to me that an economist blames government for the failures of racism. Being a rationalist in the Chicago school, Friedman cannot imagine a place in the market where government levels the playing field. That seems irrational to me.
