Milton Friedman Speaks: Who Protects the Consumer?
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
Regulators don’t protect consumers—competition does. According to Dr. Milton Friedman, consumer legislation often benefits bureaucrats and advocacy groups more than the public. A free, competitive marketplace provides real protection through lower prices and more options.
