While I was fussing with the translation of Friedman, slowly and sadly posting one chapter at a time, Sergei Ankapov completed his own translation, and is now raising money for a print edition. Since my version of the translation is also close to completion, I will, of course, hurry up now, and soon you will have two options to choose from: a free amateur one and a paid official one, with a preface by the author (although, if the preface is worth it, I will also pull it over to my version in time).

That’s how competition works: because of me, it will be harder for Sergei to raise money, and I will simply be ashamed that I didn’t manage within a shorter timeframe, and thus partially undervalued my own work.
