He was so modest about his achievements but one of the things -- -- he wrote capitalism and freedom.
And he he spoke so passionately about how those two -- interconnected how economic liberty and human liberty are into related any need to passionate.
Moral case for the free market need more of that.
I never had the honor of meeting him but I imagine if he so -- was happening today you'd say what the bleakest.
