Description
This book was created in the 1960s as a response to the post-war efforts of the American government to increase its role in the economy and centralize economic decision-making and power. However, the author argues in the book that political and economic freedom are inextricably linked – one cannot exist without the other. ***** There is no longer any debate regarding the benefits of political freedom, but there is no such consensus on economic interventions. Centralized decision-making and massive government interventions in the economy are still commonplace today, and Friedman’s book has much to offer readers in this regard. The author advocates for laissez-faire and individual choice over government interventions in markets through tariffs, subsidies, and regulations. The reader will learn a variety of specific economic proposals aimed at creating a freer and more prosperous society and can form their own opinion on how the debate has (not) progressed over the past decades.
