Amazing book. Interesting story: after the wall fell he gave his first speech to the Russians, and he was startled by how quickly they understood his speeches on free markets.


Turns out, the Communists allowed econometrics books to be read, because they were supposedly mathematical and technical, devoid of ideology. Yet those econometrics equations had tons of capitalist variables in them, e.g., consumer choice.
