Economist and poet taking cannibal's food? (6,8)

'economist' is the definition.
(I know that Milton Friedman is a economist)

'poet taking cannibal's food?' is the wordplay.
'poet' becomes 'milton' (John Milton).
'taking cannibal's food?' becomes 'friedman' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'milton'+'friedman'='MILTON FRIEDMAN'

'and' acts as a link.
