Milton Friedman, ¿libertario o conservador?:

The general impression is that Friedman was a conservative with eccentric views about drug policy. But in what sense was Friedman conservative?

Was it conservative to advocate laissez faire in the wake of the New Deal and World War II, when the consensus on the left and the right was that managing the economy was one of the government’s main tasks? Was it conservative to oppose Keynesianism when everyone was a Keynesian? For that matter, is there anything less conservative than the creative destruction of the free market?
