Subject: real world ideology

Milton Friedman ended his 1976 Nobel Prize lecture with the observation:

"The drastic change that has occurred in economic theory has not been the
result of ideological warfare. It has responded almost entirely to the
force of events; brute experience proved far more potent than the
strongest of political or ideological preferences"
