Source for the "student of milton freidman line is a comment Russ made:
"You asked if was a student of Milton's. In my first semester at Chicago as a graduate student in economics, Milton taught a non-credit class for anyone who was interested. The format was quite simple. We could ask him anything we wanted and he would answer. Most of the first-year students sat in and we did ask him everything... But I am truly his student in the same way that you are perhaps—I have read many of his books and been influenced by his ideas." Jasonayala (talk) 18:22, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Professor Robert's political persuasion is an important part of his podcast and economic outlook. I had it in there earlier, with a reference, and it was removed as shown in this diff: [1] I added it back today. Sanpitch (talk) 01:07, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is more of a formality, but in terms of classifying Russ' academic lens, I think he more closely aligns with the Austrian School tradition of Don Boudreax (co-blogger at Cafe Hayek) and Pete Boettke (fellow econ professor at George Mason University). Many of Russ' podcasts focus on the role of limited, dispersed knowledge in the economy and our uncertainty regarding the ability of models and analysis to depict the complexities of the economy. This seems distinctly Hayekian (thus Austrian) to me. Sfarrand (talk) 15:01, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
