I'm not sure what articles to link to, as there are currently thousands that I can see.
You probably know who he is. Economist, free market capitalism. I read his book Capitalism and Freedom for one of my classes.

I actually know who he is....But links are nice :)
His theory is mostly right- a free market can handle itself well.
On the other hand, I do believe that pure capitalism is bad- Milton's theory "forgets" people with physical difficulties, or people who grew in a bad socioeconomic condition and cannot help themselves.Without the help of the government, those people would never be able to help themselves find a job or educate their children-other people would never do what the government does (or should do :P).
Of course, too much help from the government can affect those people negatively, but SOME help is needed.
