Milton Friedman Speaks: The Role of Government in a Free Society
Free To Choose Network is a nonprofit media group with a global reach and a passion for big ideas. The network originally launched with Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman’s groundbreaking 1980 television series “Free to Choose,” and still believes that people—and societies—flourish when free to shape their own lives, pursue personal goals, and make choices that reflect their values. Through smart, accessible storytelling, their programs spark conversations about freedom, responsibility, and what it means to live well.
Overview
What should government do—and where must it stop? Dr. Milton Friedman argues that while defense, property rights and contract enforcement are legitimate functions, too often government exceeds its role. The result is inefficiency, dependency and erosion of personal responsibility.
