What the very smug Mr. Friedman is talking about, I believe, is libertarianism for an increasingly shrinking strata of elites. The underlings can fight it out amongst themselves for Walmart franchises and trading jobs on Wall Street. Forget the proles -- they don't matter a whit. They may have libertarianism too, but they won't have the power to do anything about it.
Friedman was right on most issues, informative on all.
