Three Generations of Excellence

1. Milton Friedman, Nobel-prize-winning economist, popular defender of free market principles, author of countless papers which influenced the discipline of economics.

2. David Friedman, economist, early defender of anarcho-capitalism, creative anachronist.

3. Patri Friedman, sea-steader, strategist for libertarian anarchism.

And the great thing is, each generation is more freaky that the last!

Hey, don't forget John Kenneth Galbraith and his son's James K. Galbraith (Econ Prof. at University Of Texas, Austin) and the diplomat, Peter Galbraith. I can't make hyperlinks but wikipedia will give a good intro.
