What is the author's tone in Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman?

The tone of Capitalism and Freedom combines elements of Friedman's role as an economist, a critic of government intervention into the economy and a defender of capitalism and classical liberalism. First, in chapters where Friedman is most focused on complex economic topics, such as the Bretton Woods System and Friedman's proposal for floating exchange rates, the tone is a bit dry, though Friedman does the best he can to remain engaging despite complex subject matter. To maintain economy of prose, Friedman often refers the reader to his more scholarly and less popular works.
