The Milton Friedman
Framework
Monetarism & Free Markets
Milton Friedman represents one of the most distinctive thinking patterns in their field. Milton Friedman's approach — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The monetarism & free markets framework distils Milton Friedman's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Milton Friedman made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Milton Friedman's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Milton Friedman's thinking.
Milton Friedman held that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon — a product of excess money supply growth, not corporate greed, union power, or bad luck. He believed that free markets, operating through the price mechanism, aggregate and transmit information more efficiently than any central authority ever could, and that well-intentioned government intervention almost invariably produces consequences worse than the problems it set out to solve. The proper role of government is narrow, rule-bound, and constitutionally constrained — not discretionary, expansive, or technocratic.
