Must Read: Milton Friedman

If you haven't read anything by Milton Friedman, you must. I recommend both Capitalism and Freedom and Free to Choose. It is unfortunate that many highly educated people who disdain the free market, or have strong opinions on issues like the minimum wage, have never even tried to understand the actual arguments for the positions they oppose. Friedman's are not the only arguments out there worth engaging, but they're a good place to start.
Since Friedman's death last week, much has been written about him. Below are two new pieces from Reason that are worthwhile:
It's Milton Friedman's World: We're Just Living Freely in It
The economist who advocated "Power to the People"
Milton Friedman, Archliberal
Why the great free market economist was no conservative
