Abstract

Friedman attempted to both cultivate contacts and to neutralise the influence of opponents. This latter project is illustrated by his antagonistic exchanges with one of Nixon’s friends, Pierre Rinfret, an influential New York investment adviser, who had been under consideration both as a CEA member and as Treasury Secretary (Ehrlichman 1982, 258). Rinfret was sufficiently close to Nixon to be used by Burns as a messenger. According to Rinfret, in spring 1971 he was invited to have lunch with Burns so as to relay the message to Nixon that the Fed would ‘not be party to inflation’. But Nixon told Rinfret he was ‘about the hundredth person Dr Burns has asked to deliver the message’.1
