[lbo-talk] Wall Street Journal: Milton Friedman's ghost saves Chile

[Chris Doss]

The WSJ had a hilarious editiorial explaining that Russia isn't doing very well at the Olympics because it's not sufficiently free-market and democratic. This is further evidence for my theory that the WSJ editorials are written by 20-something interns, because nobody who was around when the Warsaw Pact countries were dominating the Olympics could possibly make such a ridiculous statement.

The ghost of Milton
Friedman,<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703411304575093572032665414.html?mod=WSJ_hps_sections_opinion>writes
Bret Stephens in the Wall Street Journal, "was surely hovering
protectively over Chile in the early morning hours of Saturday."

Thanks largely to him, the country has endured a tragedy that elsewhere
would have been an apocalypse.
