Friedman has a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics from Harvard and a PhD in theoretical physics from UChicago. This does not make him an economist, even though he is repeatedly characterized as such in this article. Nor does being Milton Friedman's child make one an economist. The presumption must be that Friedman is not an economist since he lacks academic training and an academic position in the field. He could rebut this presumption with a lot of high-quality peer-reviewed publications in the field of economics. Does he have those? Steeletrap ( talk) 14:07, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 17:59, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
The page says "He was previously a Markle Senior Fellow at New America Foundation from 2000 to 2002." That is not correct. It is confusing me with another person of the same name. (As is probably obvious, this comment is by the David Friedman who is the subject of the page). I gather that I am not supposed to edit my own page, so am putting this comment here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:8980:DD8D:5462:4C7A:8DEB:5762 ( talk) 18:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

@ 15: Friedman isn't a free-market anarchist as the term is understood. We can mention that fellow anarcho-capitalists label him as such, but he does not fit the definition. This does not make him an "anarchist", so trying to add the category "Jewish anarchists" is incorrect. BeŻet ( talk) 14:41, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
Does he? My read is that he prefers to argue for his system from a consequentialist footing rather than a moral one, because the audience don't all share his moral instincts. — Tamfang ( talk) 03:56, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
