Milton FriedmanについてはLawrence Summersが
If Keynes was the most influential economist of the first half of the 20th century, Friedman was the most influential of the second half. Republican Richard Nixon once pointed out that "we are all Keynesians now." Equally, any honest Democrat will admit that we are all Friedmanites now. (p. 102)
とフリードマンの影響力の強さを強調。
一方、John Kenneth Galbraithについては、
Amartya Senが次のように描写。
If Walter Bagehot was right to think that "one of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of new idea," then John Kenneth Galbraith caused a lot of pain in the world. He forced people to think and rethink about an astonishingly broad range of ideas. (p. 100)
これを比べただけでも私はガルブレイスの方が好きです。
