After a 1991 speech on drug legalisation, Friedman answered a question on his involvement with the Pinochet regime, saying that he was never an advisor to Pinochet (also mentioned in his 1984 Iceland interview), but that a group of his students at the University of Chicago were involved in Chile's economic reforms.
Nakon govora o legalizaciji droga 1991. godine, Friedman je odgovorio na pitanje o njegovoj povezanosti s Pinochetovim režimom, rekavši da nikada nije bio savjetnik Pinocheta (što također spominje u svojem intervju godine 1984. na Islandu ), ali da je skupina njegovih studenata na Sveučilištu u Chicagu bila uključena u gospodarske reforme u Čileu.
