Samuelson Friedman by Nicholas Wapshott
From the author of the critically acclaimed Keynes Hayek, the next great duel in the history of economics.
"Summarising the debate between the two most important economists of the second half of the 20th century might seem like a monumental task, best consigned to specialist textbooksBut this brave history of the intellectual duel between Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman proves that assumption wrong, with its focus as much on their lives as their ideas." -- Zareer Masani - Literary Review
"If you had to name the two most influential economists of the postwar decades, you would not go far wrong if you picked Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman… As Wapshott shows, their arguments over the proper scope of government intervention and the control of inflation echo down to the present." -- Adam Tooze - Financial Times
