Friedman argued it was good for corporations to be greedy, and corporate America liked that idea.

The more I learn about Friedman and Hayek the more I hate them and the politicians that still cling to their hack theories in the face of overwhelming evidence that they don't work for anyone but the amassers of capital.

Their views on people as individual self-interested rational actors are so narrow and simplistic.
