| Friedman wrote on many aspects of economic policy. In general, he argued that government discretionary ''"fine-tuning"'' of the economy, as had been proposed by [[Keynesians]], ought to be replaced with iron "rules" of policy - notably his "money supply growth" rule. The Federal Reserve for a while attempted to follow Friedman's rules, but gave it up as impossible to realize. He also wrote several popular volumes advocating laissez-faire policies more generally.

| ===About Friedman===
| | Friedman wrote on many aspects of economic policy. In general, he argued that government discretionary ''"fine-tuning"'' of the economy, as had been proposed by [[Keynesians]], ought to be replaced with iron "rules" of policy - notably his "money supply growth" rule, and that central banks should be abolished<ref>[http://www.reason.com/news/show/38384.html. Brian Doherty ''Can We Bank on the Federal Reserve?'', Reasononline, November 2006]</ref>. The [[Federal Reserve]] for a while attempted to follow Friedman's rules, but gave it up as impossible to realize. He also wrote several popular volumes advocating laissez-faire policies more generally. |
