== Subsequent Uses == The article and the term have since become fairly popular among econ bloggers, and new references to it pop up every so many years<ref name=blog-br/><ref name=blog-lc/><ref name=blog-db/><ref name=blog-crs/><ref name=blog-msk/>. In a case of [[wikipedia:Stigler's law of eponymy | Stigler's law of eponymy]], this mistaken characterization of what is cause and what is effect is now named after Friedman, though his contribution to the entire thing is solely to compare the influence of the Fed to have gotten more effective over time to using a better thermostat over a worse one, using the analogy of inflation rate to indoor temperature.
