Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROS : Rose Friedman
Rose Director Friedman, also known as Rose D. Friedman and Rose Director, is the wife of Milton Friedman, the winner of the 1976 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel and sister of Aaron Director, a celebrated professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
Rose Friedman attended Reed College and later transferred to the University of Chicago where she received a Bachelor of Philosophy degree. After this she began to study for a doctorate in economics at the University of Chicago and completed all work necessary for the Ph.D. except for writing a thesis.
Paradoxically, she wrote articles with Dorothy Brady to justify the keynesian vision of consumption, but it was a long time ago.
She and her husband co-wrote three books on economics and public policy: Capitalism and Freedom, Free to Choose and Tyranny of the Status Quo. She also helped produce the PBS television series, "Free to Choose". She and her husband published their memoirs "Milton and Rose D. Friedman, Two Lucky People" in 1998.
She and her husband founded the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation, with the aim of promoting the use of school vouchers and freedom of choice in education.
