    Quote is from Friedman's The Counter-Revolution in Monetary Theory (1970), not A Monetary History of the United States (1963).

    Before

    Milton Friedman, A Monetary History of the United States (1963)

    After

    Milton Friedman, The Counter-Revolution in Monetary Theory (1970)

    Why: Verified live: correction already present in the opening blockquote (a separate, legitimate citation of Friedman & Schwartz's 1963 'A Monetary History' book exists elsewhere in the bibliography for a different point, not a misattribution of this quote). FAQ decoded (4-step op-sequence) and checked - no mention of this quote or citation. Excerpt clean.
