Some of his statements go against typical libraterian thought.

Outside of the thread subject, which ones?
I read his book, Road to Serfdom, this summer. Milton Friedman wrote the introduction to the 50th anerversy addition, and besides the quote I started the thread with, I didn't see anything that struck me as outside of libertarianism as I know it. The book was a very good argument for how those things the left typically represents inevitably lead to dictatorship rather than egalitarian/cummunal society. The quality of the book is why I was willing to take a pause at his assertion that basic needs can be provided.
