SynopsisSelected by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the "hundred most influential books since the war" How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of his immensely influential economic philosophy-one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. The result is an accessible text that has sold well over half a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and shows every sign of becoming more and more influential as time goes on., Selected by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the "hundred most influential books since the war" How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom?

  • A True Masterpiece Of Social And Economic Philosiphy

    Friedman's economics made the 80s and 90s. Im happy his ideolgy made me realize as a Gen Z that Socialism isnt the way for world. This book explains perfect examples of why government control of our institutions is a horrible idea and gives free market alternatives. Truly a damn good read.
