Property and Freedom, Pt. 1
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
In Part 1, economist Ronald W. Jones and historian Richard Pipes examine the historical and philosophical roots of property rights. Their conversation explores how ownership, responsibility and liberty are connected—and why private property is essential to a free society.
