Undergraduates Study Milton Friedman

Four UWM undergrads from Economics and Business attended a colloquium to study the free-market principles advanced by Nobel economics laureate Milton Friedman. Led by our PhD student (and Friedman aficionado) Marlo Vasquez, the  colloquium was held at Capitaf, Friedman’s former Vermont summer home which has been converted into The Milton and Rose Friedman Center. Marlo reports that the undergrads developed intellectually and  left with a stronger sense of direction.

Expenses were paid by the James G. Rosenbaum ‘84 Broad Horizons Endowment Fund. This fund at the UWM Foundation has the goal of emphasizing to students the importance of political and economic freedoms and examining the proper role of government.
