Born: July 31, 1912, Brooklyn, New York [Died] November 16, 2006. San Francisco, California. Economist and educator from the United States. Studied at the University of Chicago and Columbia University, worked mainly for government agencies before World War II, and taught at the University of Chicago from 1946 to 1983. His main research subject is money, and since 1958 he has been known as the proponent of the new quantity theory of money. Having been an advisor to Richard M. Nixon during his presidency, his monetarism, which regards the money supply as the largest economic policy variable and opposes fiscal and monetary policies (→Keynesian school) under the influence of John Maynard Keynes, gradually expanded its influence. His research fields are wide, including economic methodology, consumption function theory, American monetary history, and liberal economics. Ideologically, he was one of the leaders of neoliberalism and a central figure in the Chicago School. He was a member and officer of various academic societies, and served as a professor emeritus at various universities. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1976. His major works include "Essays in Positive Economics" (1953), "A Theory of the Consumption Function" (1957), "Capitalism and Freedom" (1962), "A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960" (1963, co-authored with Anna Schwartz), "The Role of Monetary Policy" (1968), "Free to Choose" (1980), and "Bright Promises, Dismal Performance" (1983), among others.
