I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the fourth and last child
and first son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman. My parents were born in
Carpatho-Ruthenia of the Soviet Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in

and Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economic research, introduced
me to the highest scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent

and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to graduate work. On his recommendation, the
Chicago Economics Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also
offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I had
definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption analysis,
