Yes...for a partial reference from Leeson that is available on the web see:
http://wwwbusiness.murdoch.edu.au/econs/wps/164.html
[I think the core paper is " Patinkin, Johnson and 'The Shadow of
Friedman.' in HPE, 2000 but it is not readily available on the web from home.]
This paper by Leeson reminds me of another point: how much the *immediate
cause* of the rise of Friedman and his monetarism was linked to the
breakdown of the Phillips Curve (Friedman had the good fortune to predict
this in his 1968 AEA address the year before it started). In a different
way, some post-Keynesians made a related point: that traditional
Keynesianism would break down without wage-price controls (but of course
their star didn't rise).

Robert Leeson has written about the bitter battles between Friedman and
Johnson, along with Patinkin. The latter called Friedman "a crook."

a very conservative guy, but much more honest than Friedman.
