Jennifer Burns, Stanford history professor and author of Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative & Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Jennifer discuss Milton Friedman's legacy, his foundational role in shaping the bipartisan neoliberal approach that supplanted the New Deal in the 1970s and 1980s, whether the 2008 Financial Crisis, the trade policy fueled Trump revolt in 2016, and the COVID supply chain crunch has discredited his market-oriented worldview, and why the return of inflation politics could end up revitalizing his work for future generations.
