Mangalore Ranga Pai - Meeting With Milton Friedman

Meeting With Milton Friedman

When Milton Friedman visited India in 1963, Pai was responsible for his meetings in India. The friendship generated during this visit lasted till Pai's death. When the Friedmans published their book Free to Choose in 1982, an autographed copy was sent to Pai, with an offer to publish any portion as a booklet. The Forum obliged them by bringing a booklet Central Economic Planning in September 1982.

A few years later in 1998 in their autobiography Two Lucky People, the Friedmans made a mention of Pai.,

He was the secretary of the Forum till 1976, and its Vice President till his death.

    Who first seduc’d them to that fowl revolt?
    Th’ infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
    Stird up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv’d
    The Mother of Mankinde, what time his Pride
    Had cast him out from Heav’n, with all his Host
    Of Rebel Angels,
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
