The event was a great success.  Over 100 people attended the Friday afternoon event, hosted by Free Market Institute Chairman Tom Kelly. A drawing was held for 10 copies of Friedman's Free to Choose and several Milton Friedman posters.
</em>

<em>Senior Policy Fellow David Strom gave some brief remarks and offered a toast. Here is the text of his remarks:</em>

It is a genuine pleasure to have the honor of toasting Milton Friedman on what would have been his 97<sup>th</sup> Birthday.

In many of Friedman’s biographies he is described as being an economist best known for having won the Nobel Prize in 1976.

That is, of course, completely wrong. If we only knew of Friedman as an economist, we hardly would know of him at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few months we’ve seen the most extensive government intervention in the economy since the 1930’s. In fact, today’s interventions sometimes make those of Franklin Roosevelt look tame by comparison. Depending upon how you calculate the numbers—and that is made particularly difficult because neither the Federal Reserve or the Treasury is being particularly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new conventional wisdom is that investments in “green” technologies will somehow jumpstart the sputtering American economy. President-elect Obama is promising to invest heavily in “green-collar” jobs. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has proposed an expansion of his Job-z enterprise zones program to include “green” projects. The assumption is that the recipe for success in today’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Minnesotans and the nation are facing one of the worst recessions in decades. And that means two things for government: falling revenues and higher spending. Revenues go down for obvious reasons. Wages, corporate profits, and sales all go down, and with them the taxes the government collects on them. And spending goes up because the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does the Obama victory last Tuesday signal a sea change in American politics or simply a normal and expected shift in partisan control after eight years of Republican rule? Obviously none of us knows yet, but there are ample clues to suggest that there is less than meets the eye in the Obama victory, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve never understood why people who have little faith in the workings of the market assume that government can magically do things better. It’s bizarre when you think about it. It’s as if businessmen are irrationally driven by greed and the desire for power and prestige, but those in government are extremely wise and only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This commentary was originally published at Townhall.com. Comments welcome there. By now everybody has heard of Joe the plumber. It was Joe that Barack Obama told that it was government’s job to “spread the wealth around”—Joe’s wealth—in order to build the economy from the bottom up. Joe was worried because Obama’s plans to increase taxes [...]]]></description>
