"There's not a woman in the book, the plot hinges on unkindness to animals, and the black characters mostly drown by Chapter 29."
- P.J. O'Rourke
(commenting on 'Moby Dick')

Two Lucky People is Milton and Rose Friedman's memorable and lively account of their lives, the people they knew, and the work they shared. For the first time they set the record straight regarding their involvement with world leaders and many of this century's most important public policy issues. Included here are previously unpublished documents of significant interest, such as a letter Milton Friedman wrote to General Pinochet in 1975 on his return from Chile, along with Pinochet's reply; a memo from Friedman prepared in 1988 for Zhao Zi Yang, the general secretary for the Communist party in China, on economic reform in China; and the transcript of Friedman's subsequent lengthy meeting with Zhao.

A splendid account of two exemplary lives, marked by careers overwhelmingly productive and laced always with engrossing details of life on the academic and ideological high wire. Absolutely recommended for the general reader.
