His research encompassed monetary theory, consumption analysis, and the history of monetary policy. Beyond the academy he was an outspoken advocate for free market economics and served as an economic adviser to political leaders including Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Capitalism and Freedom, written with assistance from Rose Friedman, was his first major work for a general audience.
