Friedman(n) a.k.a. David Friedmann was born in 1893 in Maehrisch Ostrau, Austria, now Ostrava, Czech Republic. He ventured from this industrial city to Berlin in 1911. With the onset of World War I, Friedmann volunteered for the Austro-Hungarian Army, serving between 1917-1918 as an army artist.After returning to Berlin, in the spring of 1919 Friedmann presented his first exhibition at the Akademie der Künste, on Pariser Platz, and published some of his works in the Jewish journal "Schlemiel."In December 1938, with his wife Mathilde and infant daughter Mirjam Helene, Friedmann fled to Prague, escaping from the Nazis with only his artistic talent as a means to survive.The Friedmann family was deported on October 16, 1941, on the first transport from Prague to the Lodz Ghetto in Poland. Through hunger and sickness, Friedmann kept a diary and painted scenes of his family and the infernal life in the Ghetto. His art, his diary, would be his testimony, but they were destroyed. When the Ghetto was evacuated at the end of August of 1944, Friedmann was separated from his wife and child, neither of whom survived the Holocaust.He was transported to concentration camps Auschwitz-Birkenau and Gleiwitz I, followed by a grueling death march to Blechhammer. Friedmann was liberated January 25, 1945 at the age of fifty-one years.David Friedmann married Hildegard Taussig in 1948, but instead of settling down in Czechoslovakia to enjoy their new life together, they fled to Israel in 1949. In 1954, the Friedmann family, now including a daughter also named Miriam, immigrated to the United States. To support his family, Friedmann embarked on a new career in commercial art with General Outdoor Advertising Company. GOA transferred the family from New York City to Chicago, and finally to the St. Louis branch of the company. In 1960, the Friedmann family became United States citizens and dropped the double “n” spelling in their name. He died in 1980, at the age of eighty-six, in St. Louis, Missouri.A full biography, written by his daughter Miriam Friedman Morris, is in the David Friedman collection, AR 6988.Notes for "Trieb zur Kunst" by Miriam Friedman Morris in file (December 19, 2000)see also "David Friedman Collection" (AR 6988

Who is Afraid of the Friedman Rule?
No full textIn this paper, we explore the connection between optimal monetary policy and heterogeneity among agents. We study a standard monetary economy with two types of agents in which the stationary distribution of money holdings is non-degenerate. Sans type-specific fiscal policy, we show that the zero-nominal-interest rate policy (the Friedman rule) does not maximize type-specific welfare; it may not maximize aggregate social welfare either. Indeed, one or, more surprisingly, both types may benefit if the central bank deviates from the Friedman rule. Our results suggest a positive explanation for why central banks around the world do not implement the Friedman rule.Friedman rule; monetary policy; money-in-the-utility-function

The impact of Milton Friedman on modern monetary economics: setting the record straight on Paul Krugman’s 'Who Was Milton Friedman?
No full textPaul Krugman’s essay “Who Was Milton Friedman?” seriously mischaracterizes Friedman’s economics and his legacy. In this paper we provide a rejoinder to Krugman on these issues. In the course of setting the record straight, we provide a self-contained guide to Milton Friedman’s impact on modern monetary economics and on today’s central banks. We also refute the conclusions that Krugman draws about monetary policy from the experiences of the United States in the 1930s and of Japan in the 1990s.Monetary policy - United States ; Keynesian economics ; Friedman, Milton
