Abstract

The literature dealing with Milton Friedman's methodological framework tends to overlook his adhere nce to the neo-Bayesian interpretation of probability theory. In this note, it is shown that Friedman's probabilistic framework has deep i mplications for his notion of rationality and treatment of expectatio ns, and that disregarding this feature of his analytical toolkit lead s to arguments which are factually wrong and misleading. R. E. Lucas' s and Friedman's methodological approaches are then contrasted in ter ms of their probabilistic underpinnings.
