Ms. Klein's lies about one of the most passionate and reasoned proponents of human freedom reveal more about her values than her spurious assertions about Mr. Friedman's.
As always, I'm left wondering why so many purportedly intelligent people become unhinged at the idea that economic freedom is a necessary component of a free people - unhinged to the point that they will distort and lie about the facts AND the people that inconveniently disprove whatever thesis ( i. e. disaster capitalism) in which they have invested. Is it so hard to put aside one's beliefs and dispassionately test a thesis? Or is it something a bit sinister: most people fear the freedom of others?
