From the book jacket: "Two Lucky People is Milton and Rose Friedman's memorable and lively account of their lives, the people they knew, and the work they shared. For the first time they set the record straight regarding their involvement with world leaders and many of this century's most important public policy issues. Included here are previously unpublished documents of significant interest, such as a letter Milton Friedman wrote to General Pinochet in 1975 on his return from Chile, along with Pinochet's reply; a memo from Friedman prepared in 1988 for Zhao Zi Yang, the general secretary for the Communist party in China, on economic reform in China; and the transcript of Friedman's subsequent lengthy meeting with Zhao.

Milton and Rose Friedman have experienced many of the major events that have shaped the history of the modern world--from the Great Depression to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The impact that they have had on world affairs moves their memoirs beyond the merely personal and makes fascinating reading for anyone interested in the history of the twentieth-century ideas."
