Libertarian Minds. Milton Friedman. American economist and statistician (1912–2006) Friedman's challenges to what he called "naive Keynesian theory"[12] began with his interpretation of consumption, which tracks how consumers spend. He introduced a theory which would later become part of the mainstream and among the first to propagate the theory of consumption smoothing.[6][13] During the 1960s, he became the main advocate opposing Keynesian government policies,[14] and described his approach (along with mainstream economics) as using "Keynesian language and apparatus" yet rejecting its initial conclusions.[15] He theorized that there existed a natural rate of unemployment and argued that unemployment below this rate would cause inflation to accelerate.
