22. Even hostile reviewers tended to admit that Friedman’s book was valuable
food for thought. Most reviews were published in scholarly journals, which were less
likely to employ ad hominen attacks than the mass-market magazines that reviewed
Atlas Shrugged. The only popular magazine to review Capitalism and Freedom was The
Economist, which gave it a largely positive review. “A Tract for the Times,” The Economist,
February 16, 1963. Other representative reviews include Abba P. Lerner, “Capitalism and
Freedom,” American Economic Review 53, no. 3 (1963): 458–60; F. X. Sutton, “Capitalism
and Freedom,” American Sociological Review 28, no. 3 (1963): 491–92. A negative review
is Oscar Handlin, “Capitalism and Freedom,” Business History Review 37, no. 3 (1963),
