Milton Friedman advanced human understanding by treating curiosity as a daily discipline. Milton Friedman's method of inquiry — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The monetarism & free-market clarity 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.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Milton Friedman's thinking.

Core Philosophy

Freedom and efficiency emerge when individuals make voluntary exchanges in competitive markets, while government intervention—however well-intentioned—typically produces unintended consequences that harm the very people it aims to help. The money supply, not fiscal policy, drives long-term economic stability, and most social problems have market solutions if we remove the regulatory barriers preventing them.
